In recent months I’ve gathered a lot of info on the Miles M1 Satyr, but I’m still looking for detailed plans of the forward fuselage which was covered in plywood. I have a few days left in which to decided whether or not to enrol onto a CAD course at my local college. As previously stated I’m thinking of building a replica, but need to know how the fuselage was designed and constructed. Any leads would be appreciated.
The wings and rear fuselage can easily be recreated, that said if this replica is ever build, it won’t be an accurate rebuild – not without detailed plans, which I am told don’t exist.

Hello Avion
September hasn’t been the best of months (one day left thank heavens). I have had a lot on my plate, most not relating to aviation. Sadly I didn’t get to enrol on a CAD course at the college. Also, also, also I’m unable to order a set of plans for the 1/4th scale R/C model because the company don’t accept PayPal. But I’m not giving up.
I also have a film to make (Generation Airfix) and I’m applying for jobs, but I’m still keen on the Miles Satyr simply because its easier than saving the cockpit of Short Belfast G-BEPS or several buildings at former RAF Driffield (£1 in the swear box)…
Is the Satyr replica an on or an off project and, if it’s on, how’s it going?

Well, have you yet got the material that you need to make your decision whether to proceed with a Satyr replica?

Does anyone know if model plans exist for this aircraft type – rubber powered or R/C balsa wood scale model?
Me thinks I should do a little more research before I start posting requests for information. I’ve found 1/4 scale plans: https://shop.traplet.com/product.aspx?c=523 BARGAIN!!!
Pity they don’t accept PayPal…
Many thanks for the read “wieesso”. I ordered a copy of their plan a few weeks ago, but again – no internal detail…

Many thanks for the input chaps – again, very much appreciated. I think I have a PDF copy of said 1/72nd scale plan, plus another, slightly large scale plan.

There is a 1:72 scale drawing in the “Book of Miles Aircraft” (Harboro)
This shows some hidden structure.
Of similar structure from the same stable is the Martlet of which there is an example flying or it’s forebear the Avro Baby which has a neat, simple cowling and the one in Australia would render all the gen you need.

Very much appreciated “wieesso”. I have quite a few pages from this archive on pdf, but not this one (?)…
Does anyone know if anyone made a balsa model plane or even plans for one?
Again, many thanks for your help…
