| This set is 1/24 scale, get me an address and when I make copies, I'll send a set. I need to make a few copies of the parts sheets. |

| I just got the plans from Cleveland for the Electra and it looks like we'll both be cutting well into 2014, but it is relaxing. |

The nacelle formers are also 3/32 stock and the wing ribs are cut from 1/16" stock. I don't plan to build it right away but I like to get the major parts cut out. |

...and glued 1/32" balsa in the holes left from removing the parts from the printwood. I then used the pieces as patterns and made all new formers from 3/32" stock and I've notched them for 3/32" stringers. |

So...I cut out the major parts from the basswood supplied... |

| I can't believe this kit is from 1944. David, if you were to stack the wood with some kind of weight on top, do you think it might make the sheets straight? I always lay my balsa flat on my work table with small weights to prevent warping. I know it's not balsa, but you could give it a shot. |

The printwood. It's marked as 1/16"and is supposed to be balsa but is in fact 1/32" basswood. Some of it is a bit warped but it will make excellent patterns. |

Kit is from 1944. |

Kit contents. Those wooden wheels weigh 6 grams each. |
