Now, Jim Pepino offers another super set of plans. He has drawn the Hawker Hurricane Mark IIB. This set of plans comes in three big sheets and goes for $39.00 rolled, mailed in a tube. You can get these plans for $35.00 folded, but it would be a crime to fold these. Span of model is 90 inches so would guess it to be at least quarter scale. The drawings are of the Hawker Hurricane owned by the Canadian Warplane Heritage.

PLAN SHEET ONE: Has the fuselage left side and a top view plus the fin and rudder. Fuselage is built on a crutch and is sheeted forward of the rear of the cockpit and fabric covered the rest of the way back. Rear fuselage is all stringers. No engine is shown, but one of the large Super Tigres would fit nicely into the nose, with very little of it exposed. Custom built retracts are available and the address is shown on the plan for the supplier. Jim states these are pneumatic and are super strong in scale form. Fin and rudder are built up of balsa and have scale hinging and rudder is cable operated.

PLAN SHEET TWO: Shows the complete wing and all the ribs. The wing has three spars of bass or spruce. The front two spars are 3/8 square top and bottom of the ribs with shear webbing and the rear spar which forms the aileron cutout is quarter square. The wing is built in three sections and joined by dihedral joiners. The wing is then sheeted. Flaps are shown but are optional. Ailerons are of the Friese type. Installation is shown for Millman retracts.

PLAN SHEET THREE: Has all the fuselage bulkheads and stab and elevator which are similar construction to the fin and rudder, with unique hinging system that is scale. This is an excellent set of plans and well worth the money. It would be neat to see several of these at a meet, instead of the usual Mustangs and Corsairs!
