I am interested in acquiring Hurricane blueprints/assembly drawings for Experimental/Homebuilt full scale flyer. Do not need originals as tea stained, dogeared, slightly rumpled, would be appreciated. Anything for a Fabric wing would be desired. Ian does sell packages on disc, not sure of particulars. A&P with IA. My friend has built an SE5a ,now in Germany, and is well on the way with a Sowith Pup.

Hi keith,
Sadly no Hurricane blueprints that are suitable for a flying replica but what an interesting project. I’ve constructed large radio control models and I have been making a full size static replica Spitfire and often thought that apart from the aircraft grade plywood and spruce that I have used the airframe structure is basically the same as a flying aeroplane less engine, hydraulics etc.
I’ve read the Clive Du Cros and the Haynes Spitfire restoration manual but is making a Hurricane or an SE5a as a flying aircraft as difficult as I perceive it to be in my head with lots of paper work and hoops and loops to go through before you get anywhere?
