anyone have a (really) old set of RV-3 Plans?
I have a very old RV3 project. The plans are marked with SN 151 and are dated 1973. I have a set of RV3-B plans (1/2 size) and have noted some differences that I am trying to deal with.
I'm pretty sure my plan set is missing some sheets, so I would like to converse with someone who has a set of plans from that era (circa 1973) , find out which ones I am missing and possibly get some copies.
I have asked Vans if I can get copies from them, but they say they don't have the orignals any more.
Thanks
Jim Frisby

Early RV-3 plans
Hello Jim,
I think I have what you're looking for. They are in my hangar and I will verify that tomorrow for you. They're a little discolored from age but still very usable.
Blue skies,
Chuck

Jim,
If Chuck can't help you out, contact Katie B here on the forums. She also has an old RV-3 project (not sure of the vintage, though). She might also be able to help you out.

Aileron Belcrank
Lots of RV-4 parts are being substituted in the current RV-3B kits... one of which is the aileron belcrank. This drawing is an RV-1 wing and I'm curious if the aileron belcrank dimensions are the same on the original RV-3 drawings. Just throwing this out there for anyone who might have an original set and wouldn't mind verifying the dimensions. A complete set of RV-1 wing drawings can be viewed >> HERE.

old rv3 plans
Chuck,
That would be great. The set I have is almost all blue, the lines being a darker shade than the background, so yours could hardly be worse. Let me know what you have, maybe we can figure out at least what sheets you have that I don't.

I believe those are RV-3B plans
Katie was kind enough to send me a CD of an old plan set, but they are RV3-B plans, I have made extensive use of them, but would really like to see a set of original RV3 plans from the era during which my project was purchased.
Thanks for the pointer.

old set of RV-3 plans
Hello Jim,
The plans I have are dated 1/3/73 and have an 830 serial number on them. Send me your address and I will put them in a tube and send them on to you. You can reimburse the shipping costs.
Blue skies,
Chuck

Yeah, most of my plans sheets were from 1984. Glad you could use them! I would love to see a set from 1973!
