I am looking for the fuselage drawing for the Pacific D-8 Sailplane.
Does anyone have a copy of the drawings ?

The most detailed Pacific D-8 information I have found is in the directory
http://vula2.org/images/land_planes/Pacific-D-8-glider/

It appears only three were built. One of them is currently at the Harris
Hill Soaring Museum.

The odds are small that you will find a set of drawing floating around.

There is a "partially completed kit" for sale on Ebay incl. plans. The
fuse looks done. Contact the seller.

It looks like the project doesn't have wings; however, it appears to have
tooling to build composite wings.

I assume you mean the National Soaring Museum, on Harris Hill.

Our Pacific D-8 has been deaccessioned. It has a one-piece wing, which
is very long and difficult to transport. It's going to be painted and
put on display near the driving range at Harris Hill Park. It's in
rough enough condition that a few golf ball hits now and then wouldn't
be noticeable. There are no ugly gliders, but the Pacific D-8 wouldn't
win any beauty contests.

A friend of mine owns the D-8 at Turf. It is complete and he does
have the drawings. Contact me off RAS at soar410@ earthlink.net and
I'll get you in contact with him.
