Hiya guys, brand new to your wonderful forum, an avid and lifelong biplane lover who for now has to settle for making models of these beautiful machines - although I am at about 80% complete on a Van's RV-7A homebuild for a friend and about 30% on my own modified RV-3 build which is a long term project. I also purchased a VP-1 project that was abandoned but could never afford a bipe project....to me the pinnacle of my sport and hobby will be when I build and fly an Eagle or Pitts one day
Since being introduced to the remarkable Wolf Pitts I have become more and more intrigued and impressed and have for some time been planning a scratch build RC Wolf, first to prove the concept and construction methods with a smaller electric scale model for around 600 size, and then a 1/5 scale monster for gas employing as closely as possible the same/similar construction as the full size.
What I am hoping this community will help me with is suitable and accurate reference material for my build, any drawings, 3 views, blueprints and pictures of the type will be truly appreciated. I have struggled thus far to collect really valuable material with only a few images of Wolfpitts being built, completed, and flying....still no 3 view or blueprints which I really need to design a worthwhile replica.
Anything you may have or any ideas of where I can find what I need would be awesome. I will gladly publish my completed drawings for users of this forum once completed as well as post a build thread and updates of the project/s.
