Where can I find factory drawings for Viper engined SE5a without breaking the bank?
Hi!\ said:Do you mean the engine installation or the entire airframe? Google searches come up with plenty of information on converting to a Viper engined SE5a, including links to museums which house drawings but which are not available online for free.
Also, hi.
Gone for best guess.\ said:Hi!
Just need a few basic measurements, e.g. length of fuel tank and distance between thrust line and datum. I`ve found a lot of info online, but a lot is conflicting and some downright wrong, so originals should give me what I need
Can`t seem to find the links you mention?\ said:Do you mean the engine installation or the entire airframe? Google searches come up with plenty of information on converting to a Viper engined SE5a, including links to museums which house drawings but which are not available online for free.

Thanks, nothing new though. 1/6 scale R/C. I don`t mind paying, but I can`t justify £120 for the replicraft drawings which incidentally are re-draws and not originals. All I need is a side and plan view with dimensions of the details and their placement, the scale is unimportant. Perhaps I am being too fussy, but this is my first attempt at a scale model, other than plastic kits, and the odd Guillows rubber powered. I just want to find out how accurate I can be.\ said:They were museums etc with online catalogues, no online freebies. I don;t have time to look them all up again.
In the meantime you might like to look at the diagrams on this page which have dimensions:

Also lots of reviews and built threads online for Viper engined SE5a's.
And I haven't looked at it, downloaded it or anything but you can also try a download from http://www.epicmanual.com/pdf-pdfsource/royal-aircraft-factory-se5a-manual-vintage-aerodrome-59241/
It's hard to know exactly how to go about getting information isn't it? Are you building a flying mode, a static plastic model or what? There was a static very large scale SE5a built by a member on this very forum.
