Hi everyone
This is for my flying buddy Howard. He's trying to find any of the original construction articles that were published in any of the magazines when the Don Stills Stuka was first published and the Chizler by Dick Mathis.
I've seen one of the eBay plans sellers include a copy of the magazine article with his plans, I remember seeing the Don Stills Stuka but he hasn't got one listed at present. Can anyone point me in a direction where these may be obtained please.
Howard thought he'd heard that Brodak had a large inventory of magazine articles they would copy and sell.
Any information welcome.
Cheers John Goodwin

On the Chizler you might get with Flying-Models.com for the article, don't know about Don's Stuka though...

Hi Gil
Thanks for the info. Flying models did indeed do the original article.
Has anyone got a copy of the 11-66 issue they could copy please. He's just bought a kit and would like a copy of the original article and for the Don Stills Stuka too. He'll pay for the copies and post.
Cheers John

Hi John,
Bummer to see your super duper zilch hit the deck especially after the great work you did on the mufflers. At least the engine survived but I don't think I would use the tank again.

Re the chizler have a chat to Steve Masterton has a couple of them and flys them in classic he may have the info you are looking for.

Hi Greg
I was very lucky with the Orwick, only really the nva and minor damage to the venturi. The tank actually is still intact, no leaks at all, but I have no idea what the internal plumbing will look like now? I bet it won't uniflow anymore!
Cheers JG

Hey, John,
(fancy meeting you, here... )

I have copies of both articles at home, and am willing to dupe and mail them to you, once we get back. We're in Missouri, about a thousand miles from home, now, visiting kids and grandkid. ETA home Sunday evening.

Presume you are in the PAMPA membership listing for address? If not, email me your physical postal address.

Or, I could try to scan the pages and zap them to you that way. Much depends on thunderstorm conditions in Arizona - after many years of drought, we've been getting, "...much noise and ado, signifying ... er, ah, occasional cloudbursts..."
