This is a brand new KIT model of the original style Sarpolus Half A Nobler
Brand new CAD Drawn and Laser Cut of the original Half A Nobler by Dick Sarpolus from plans found on the Outerzone.
I
have been having a ton of fun reliving my youth with these 1/2A
planes. This was probably the easiest of all to build. It took me less
than 24 hours to arrive at the painting stage.
Not
only is this a quick build, but it has been described as one of the
best 1/2A flyers since it was published in the May 1977 Model Airplane
News magazine.
I make no claim as to the ownership of this design. This listing is for my CAD drawing and Laser cutting services.
This Kit does not include engine mounting hardware or decals. It does include all the balsa and plywood parts
necessary to build the model, 1/2A bell crank, control wire, landing gear and wheels.
I will include in this kit the following laser cut and other parts.
- 1/4" Fuselage
- 1/8" Main Wing parts
- 1/8" Stabilizer, Elevators and Rudder
- 1/16" Plywood Doublers
- 1/8" Plywood Bell Crank Platform, Lead Out Guide and Control Horn
- 1/4" Square Hardwood for Engine Mount
- 1/16" Wire for Landing Gear, Elevator Joiner & Tail Skid

- 1/32" Wire for Lead Outs

- Brand New CAD Drawn 24"x36" Full Size Paper Plans
- Copy of Model Airplane News Article from May 1977
Nothing else is included in this kit.
