Good points. I would consider wing spans between say 80-120" depending on specific models to be a good range.
On the new upcoming poll, may I suggest that you list the current wing span for each design so people can suggest their preference.
As to fiberglass and vaccum formed plans, perhaps a good idea may be to solicit the plugs and molds from Beta builders?
Just my 2c
Josh

When enlarging the drawings, are you also changing the wood dimensions to standard sizes?

Josh,
The "size/scale enlargement" poll is multiple choice. There is a % of Jack Bale's 100+ plan catalog which will not be available in their original size/scale.

You said earlier "Over a hundred plans"
Where can we see the complete list? Might just want to build one! Alan

Alan,
From a "plan" stand point all of Jack's designs are available on the website when it is launched. Each plan accompanying kits as well as those sold on their own are printed inhouse to assure fresh paper and ink stability in air conditioned offices.

Ed. A confusing reply. Are you saying that right now they are not available to see or buy? I am not interested in purchasing kits, but I would like to see the plans he has drawn. Alan

Alan Alan, Somewhere between a chicken and an egg there are mavelous things happening :) A poll is created to determine what plans and kits are of interest to modelers... then poll results determine which Jack Bale design is eventually offered to consumers. Offering what we "guess" will be of interest to someone else is not the way to steer our ship. Should be no confusion. I have not offered anything for sale...yet. We did not begin working on this last week. Plans have been in my possession and in process for over 12 years while electric powered modeling systems caught up with Jack's designs.

Ed. OK. I was not aware of those plans at all, and look forward to seeing a List of them as soon as that can be made available. Thanks
Alan
