Fokker triplane build plans
Hello there friends,
Many years ago I was exploring along a small river bank and came across a badly overgrown burnt down building. It was collapsed and hardly detectable. I rummaged around the ruins and under some debris I found a box. In the box where, what I thought at the time, a set of R/C model aircraft plans. Fast forward 20 years and I am looking through the attic. I find the old box with the plans and bring them down. I spread them out on the pool table. They're real airplane planes. Old too. Says they are drawn up by a fella named Wimpy. From Postfalls Idaho. Any one interested in these? If so I can take some photos and post them up here. |

The drawing title block would be interesting to see. What I'm speaking of is the block that lists the title, draftsman, dates, etc...

I believe he has a set of Walt "Wimpy" Redfern's Dr.I plans.

yes that appears to be what these are. the bottom of the pages are blurred from water damage but the rest of the pages are clear. I would say the bottom 3 inches. Some pages are hardly affected others a little more. I would say there is probably 5 percent total that is unreadable, at least with the naked eye. Any way I don't think there is any value in these and was throwing them out.

I know someone who recently bought a Redfern Triplane that is in need of repairs. I'm sure that he would appreciate a set of plans. I could put you in touch with him.

That's weird. I just got out of a meeting and decided to look for the listing. I saw it but when I tried to look at it, it said it was ended. So I went to completed auctions and it wasn't there. Damn, I thought I had a chance to get it...
