Model of the Carl Goldberg Style Shoestring Stunter 42" FULL SIZE Printed Plans and NEW Laser Cut Templates -  NOT A KIT

PLEASE NOTE: Made to order - Custom Parts - NO RETURNS

First off, the plans are found on the internet free of charge in various locations.  Problem was that when I imported the file into the CAD program, the measurements were not true to scale.  First job was to get the wingspan to be actually 42”.  Then I drew all the parts based on the actual parts from a genuine unbuilt Carl Goldberg Shoestring Stunter.  I used cardboard to verify that the parts that were being laser cut were an exact match to the parts in the original kit.  The goal was to create a perfect matching short kit for the Shoestring Stunter. Once the parts were verified, the cardboard was tossed into the waste bin.  A buddy of mine happened to mention that he’d like those templates to scratch build the plane.  it was his idea to offer them with the plans ….. so here it is.

This listing is for the following items:

One printed full scale (48” x 36”) plans
Printed Assembly Procedure (8.5x11 copy/reprint)
Printed step by step pictorial assembly (11x17 copy/reprint)

Experienced scratch builder is recommended.
