[NSRCA-discussion] Hydeout Plans/Questions

[Ryan Smith]

Hi all,

I recently re-acquired my first two-meter airplane, a Hydeout that Joey Hayes built and flew his first year in F3A. A gas engine was installed at some point after I sold the airplane and the internals were hacked up somewhat and the gear plate popped out. Because of this, I want to replace the structure from the firewall back to the TE. 

I bought a Hydeout Kit from a friend when I was living in Illinois, and my friend had installed all of the formers, so while I have some of the plans intact, the things I really need templates of are long gone. Does anyone happen to have a copy of the plans sheets that were included with the Hydeout kits, or is Ken Blackwell still on the list where I could get a copy of the plans from him? I’m also looking for a set of cheeks for the Hydeout kit when I build it down the road. 

I am trying to be as lazy as a I can about this, so I’d prefer to not have to make templates myself if a copy of the PDF still exists somewhere. 

It’s hard to believe this airplane is almost old enough to legally drink. Glad to have it back.
