Here's something I posted a few days ago:
At the moment the 3D model for the Freebird is still under development.
That process is going far slower than I'd hoped. There's a guy
working it, but it's not me so I don't have a lot of control it. But
progress is being made, and I hope to have some 3D isometric and other
views that I can send out to authors to "write to" in the next week or
two. The goal is to have free plans on the web in six months or sooner.
We'll create these plans in the order of construction, so we can stay
ahead of even the fast builder, once we get some fuselage plans out
there. I hope the fuselage drawings and instructions can be done in two
months, but again, I don't have complete control over that process.
We'll use "google docs" to do the collaborative writing effort, with
authors who've actually built a KR2S writing appropriate sections, and
with notable improvements or alternatives. I've secured the
"freebirdplans.org" domain to host the plans when finished. Maybe
finished isn't the right word, as I plan to make this a living document
that can be updated when good ideas come along, and long after I'm dead
and gone. These plans will be far more than just plans, but
recommendations on materials, sources, methods, options and alternatives
of construction.
There will be NOBODY making money on this effort, just an honest
effort to foster construction of these great little airplanes. The
password for these sites will be shared with a few key individuals, so
the plans will live on long after I "pack it in"....
