Hi fellow Canardians. My name is Russ Wilcox from Monterey County CA and I am now the proud owner of a partially completed project. The builder was John Warakomski who worked on it from around '83-'89 before moving on to a Glastar. John's EAA number was 3333 and I was lucky to reserve N3333Z. All of the major layups are complete as well as quite a few other major systems such as the canopy, brake system, control system, canard and wing with control surfaces, cables, etc. The winglets layups are complete and yet to be attached to the wings. I am reading through all the CP's chronologically and in #39/Jan 1984, it is revealed that plans for the larger rudders are available for extra cost from RAF.
My question (one of many, at this point) is how to best acquire these supplemental plans. It seems obvious that my finished product will be safer with this mod and that it would be advantageous to use engineered and tested plans rather than guess my way through this construction phase. And yes, I have the original plans and will join CSA starting Jan 2011. I have the CSA newsletters through about 1989.
If you wish to contact me offline about my project, without tying up the forum:
redbird93t@sbcglobal.net (I have a Cardinal registered as N3393T)
Many thanks to all those who have paved the way - Russ
