G'day, I have the plans, I think it is a complete set, if not there is definitely sufficient to do the job. They definitely were Barry's so if he is ok for you to use them then go for it. The last bloke who looked at them before building his own enlarged design was Bob Meikenhof. Now I am retired have spare time available to help if you wish. When would you like me to come out there. Les and I have been waiting for a decent flying day but keep missing out. I will ring you and discuss. Bob.

I'd spoken with Barry Bowerman yesterday and he looked high and low for his own plans and couldnt find them so yours will be perfect. I'd like to get them as soon as possible so let me know when I can meet up with you. Yep we'd thought about Barry's and his glider being sold less the T hangar would work out well but that may be 12-18 months yet and we thought we really need to get our aircraft out of the weather.

Your Welcome to have them. Not sure if there is any copyright involved as I think they came from Barry Bowerman's design. PS. Barry has his glider and Hangar up for sale. Maybe some one will buy the Glider and not want the hangar. When would you like to have the plans. Bob. ----- Original Message ----- From: Laurie Hoffman To: STO Airworthiness Cc: [email protected] Sent: Monday, November 01, 2010 6:21 PM Subject: [DOG mailing list] T Hangar Plans Hi All, As you may recall in a recent email from Rob Thompson, our Dimona is currently tied down at Camden awaiting a home. We have received permission to build a T hangar and will commence as soon as we can. Does anyone know where we might get our hands on some T hangar plans to save a bit of leg work? Any design improvement ideas that you may have come across would also be welcome. eg One T hangar at Camden has a roller installed via a relatively simple modification rather than the standard swing up door.

However the colour is there to make the propeller disc visible from the front. By all means try the blue, but if it does not produce sufficient contrast to make the disc visible I suggest you stay with the red on white or yellow on black. Incidentally I recall Hercules props with grey blades and narrow red, white & blue stripes on the tips; each colour band was about an inch wide. I think TAA might have used this colour scheme on Friendships & Viscounts etc too. Regards JGV Senior Technical Officer, Airworthiness GLIDING FEDERATION of AUSTRALIA INC.

Tips were resprayed in blue as previously. The Hoffmann prop tips are the standard red. I tossed around the thought of blue prop tips to match the wing tips and one comment was that red and yellow are the only permitted colours for prop tips. I havent heard this before. Anyone know any more? Hey Nige, we've bandied around the idea previously of a organising a Dimona fly in sometime. Maybe at Arkaroola or Broken Hill as fairly central locations. Any more thoughts?

He did say when engine is run on condition and engine and mag has done 2500hrs+ it can start to show. Notice the Swiss falke mag service (all exchange over to reserviced one) had 500hr service so it seems like the swiss ignore the Germans- Wonder what they do in France - I am sure it will not be same as Germans ian m On 9 May 2010 20:44, Nigel Baker <[email protected]> wrote: What new owner?
