Many years ago, there were a group of builders in the Oshkosh/lower Wisconsin area who started building scales replicas of the Fokker D7. I have seen at least 2 fuselages, on gears, together in a picture. The information I have is that there were 6 different builders. I am working with the widow of John Beetham to find a new home for his project. I am told that several of the original 5 have since died.
My goal is to find a set of plans, if any exist, and make this a project for some young people to get involved with aviation and building.
John's project appears to have the fuselage and the tail feathers finished except for covering and there is a start on the wings, 25 ribs. The only thing I can find close to a drawing is part of the fixture for making the wing ribs.
Any help or leads would be very much appreciated.
