Mini Coupe

I should clarify one thing first ... the Plans I have are for the Chris Tena
Mini Coupe. I assume this is the same airplane but I dunno who Ron Dixon is.

The "plans" are probably best described as a kit assembly manual. I am not
sure if you could build the airplane from them (I need to pull them out and
have a look - perhaps my memory is not that good). I think they lack
dimensions of some parts. From memory they are however fairly detailed and
complete. The airplane is sound but fairly crude (many similarities to the
Teenie Two in terms of level of crudiness). It is a cheap and easy to build
airplane - definitely homebuildable. Easier than any model of Zenith. The
construction of the ribs is detailed via offsets and a description of the
methods to be used for making them. It really is a neat little airplane if
you are looking for a simple single seat metal airplane - much better
airplane than the Tennie Two I would say.

Give me a day or two and I will have a look at the plans. Let me know if you
have any more specific questions.

Great! So what is your opinion of the plans? Detailed? Does this
project
look do-able for the homebuilder? Does it give any form plans for making
ribs, or is it a "go it alone" type deal? Thanks!

Hi,
Has anyone built Ron Dixon's Mini-Coupe? I like the look of the little
plane
and have been considering building one.
