Does anyone have electronic copies of the articles published in Sport Aviation way back in the early days of the Thorp? In case I am wrong about the publication, I am referring to the series of articles which were published to show how to build a Thorp. I think John Thorp wrote them, but not sure. |

Ryan, You can read them here: http://www.oshkosh365.org/ok365_content ... px?id=1818 if you belong to the EAA. Search Thorp arond 1963. If not there is a hard copy book of them. I couldn't find it in my office, but I'll look in my shop and get the name and number. I found a few duplicate EAA books while searching that I'll bring to KY Dam for free. I also have a box of extra prints. Unfortunately we seem to damage the same ones. Bob MO |

looks like John Thorp would vote for the vertical fin. In one article he says, "when the fin is done, you are master of the T-18 project. No other component is harder to make." |

That was before he added flaps to the design ... my vote is the flaps. |
