I am enthusiastically seeking plans to either of these birds in English. I absolutely love both aircraft and am planning to build one of the two. Oddly enough, from my research so far, I am split down the middle as to which one. That may be determined on which one I can get plans for. I would seriously not like to 're-translate' the Gardan plans to English as they were done by W. J. G. Ord-Hume so many years ago. I have attempted email contact with Ord-Hume via email and have not yet heard back. I have heard apparently incorrectly, that Sylvia Littner in Canada has rights to one or both of the designs but she has informed me that is not the case.

Any information someone can provide to me would be of most help!

If anyone has a set laying around to the Gardan GY 20 or 201 plans to the Culver Cadet it would be a dream come true!

There has been one that makes it to Copperstate, I believe for 2009, 2010, and maybe this year. Built by John Todhunter, Hemet, CA. N951JT. (I took a photo of the prop card.) You might be able to look him up and see how he got there.

Hello,
It was Falconar Avia that sold the Minicab (Hawk) as I remember (it has been quite a few years since I looked at my father’s old Falconar catalog). There is a Minicab project overseas.

You might contact Michael La France regarding getting plans for his father's Cadet STF. Michael is now the registered owner of Neal's aircraft N46TY. There is a Cadet group over on Matronics, but it has been dormant for years. I have a set of plans I purchased a decade ago. I don't believe many were sets were issued and I have this for a future project. The stack of plans sheets is substantial. Many sheets are drawn full size. His cost to print plans must have easily been what the plans were sold for, if not more. It might take a fair amount of money just to get them printed if you manage to contact Michael.

Good Luck,
Clarke
