Hey fellow builders and bipane enthusiasts! After quite a while lurking around hereabouts I have decided to start a build log page documenting my Hatz Classic build for our collective education and entertainment. I will try to include lots of pics as i know that's what we all are looking forward to. I will try to present the progress in a chronological order, but this is complicated by the fact that I started this build some time ago . As with most all builds mine started here, with the Classic plans,
Plans No. 167, nice set of drawings with some well documented errors and discrepancies. These Plans discrepancies are well documented on the Hatz Biplane Association web page under the the Building and Maintaining the Hatz Classic Sub set here..

This is where having access to the building community is invaluable, thank you Biplane Forum! I purchased these plans from Makelan some time ago and have been working on the top wing set steadily ever since. Plans sets have been sometimes difficult to purchase through Makelan (for reasons unknown...) but two sets of Classic plans are currently for sale here http://www.hatzbiplane.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=796to to those with an interest. I welcome any comments, suggestions and advice. I will begin to add construction photos representative of my build process even though the pics are not technically in chronological order. I will try to tell the story of the build in order to this point. Cheers, Ted Tracy
