InfoPak

Our InfoPak DVD is pretty straight forward and includes many slides of the model as well as many construction photos of the full sized airplane as it was being built, so that you can see how straight forward the building process really is. It also includes a few slides of the actual plan pages, so that again you can see that they are well detailed, accurate and crisp. Not only that but I have included several videos of Daisy Mae in flight as well as one very short video of the original Daisy Mae model and one slightly longer video of my 4.6 ounce indoor Daisy Mae flying in a small gymnasium plus another BONUS DVD. All you have to do is put the DVD in any DVD player and push play. It will play on your TV or your computer. If you live outside the U.S., say in Europe, then you will need to let me know so that I can send your DVD's in a European format. I believe it is called a PAL format. There is one small section in one video that is pretty crappy (I think the videographer was taking a pee instead of his more important job) but the rest of the videos and slides are very high quality and well done. The InfoPak DVD is just $15 within the U.S. or $20 outside and there are no shipping or handling charges for this. You can send a Money order or Check. Details are here: How To Purchase Back To Top

TESTIMONIALS

You have really put together a fine piece here, this is really a first rate publication. The art work is great, it looks like something that's been done by someone who does this for a living. I've had a chance to get into the guts of the book, WOW! This thing is a treasure for anyone who even has the slightest inkling of designing or building. Do you know how many hours and hours I spent searching and digging for some of the formulas and other data in the book when I was trying to design the Scarab? This thing is like the Rosette Stone.

"It is the only design book, on anything, that I have read from cover to cover and for an old bold pilot I think that says a lot............ You took a lot of the vinegar out of design aerodynamics in the book and made it palatable..........For those of us who are not home builders, the high quality humor carries it" ……… J.D. - Crane, Mo. (professional pilot)

First of all I'm very impressed with the quality of the book it's self. This book would be right a home on a shelf at Barnes & Noble. Secondly the humor in this book is priceless. If all technical manuals were written like this there would be a lot more engineers in the world because people could actually stay awake and finish what they are reading.

.......I picked up your book, and read it from cover to cover. I loved it! Great information... great entertainment.... If I had the space, I would probably already be designing my own.......You did a terrific job with the book..............T.C. -Albuquerque, New Mexico (IMAA member)

"I almost hurt myself laughing at your wiener dog and Viagra story. Great Stuff. The glossary is a hoot as well." ....... C.D. - Battlecreek, Mi. (Model Builder & EAA)

“I enjoyed reading your book, and read it all”…… “If I was going to design a plane, your book would be my bible…. Enjoyed your humor.” …………BILL L. (Hollister, Mo – CFI – Ret. Air Midwest Pilot- -26,000 hrs - A/C Author

The only thing additional that I might say is that if you don't mind a slightly rowdy comment or two then you should thoroughly enjoy this book. If you are looking for simple answers on how to design your own airplane, then I truly believe this is the only one on the market and I think some of the above testimonials give credence to that statement. You will not have to dig out your worn Calculus or Trigonometry book to work the formulas. If you on the other hand are an aerodynamic purist you will probably go nuts about my simple explanations. All I can say is that I had a lot of friends that were aeronautical engineers for major aircraft manufactures and when I gave them that 'Deer in the Headlights' look, we finally got down to simple answers and that is all I offer in my book. I have purchased several books about Design & Homebuilding that remain on the shelf because I have no frigging idea what they are talking about. You can order your book through Aircraft Spruce & Specialty or from my link below:

Plans for Daisy Mae

Plans for Daisy Mae consist of 22 pages that are sized 18” x 24” with full size rib & former drawings and a hardware sheet that shows what parts you will need to fabricate while building the airplane. Each plan has a serial number and carries a copyright.

<>Each page is dimensioned so that you will know the exact size of everything you need to build and has many 3 dimensional drawings and exploded views for ease of understanding.

In addition, every plan set comes with a CD loaded with over 280 photos taken during the construction process. You know what they say: A picture is worth a thousand words & these will make it perfectly clear how each part was fabricated.

Each plan will carry a serial number to assist you in your FAA certification as well as protect the design to only those that actually purchased them. If you don't use them, then you can sell them. I have no problem with that. If you run off a copy or two I may just come over to your house with an AK-47 or worse yet a damned lawyer.

I have also included a quality 4x5 photo of Daisy Mae and 2 video’s of her in flight so that you can actually see for yourself that she really is a pussy cat to fly as well as a darned pretty & a well proportioned biplane.

Prior to purchase you will need to fill out a Plans Release Form. It is simply a bunch of Legal-ez stuff that covers my hinney in case you screw something up and get hurt. After all I make no claim to being any kind of licensed engineer so if you need one, then hire one.

The first offering of my plans do not include a parts list nor builders manual and are offered at a discount for that reason. If you are an experienced modeler, woodworker or aircraft builder, you should have no trouble creating Daisy Mae………… and when you are finished you will Enjoy The Satisfaction Of A Lifetime.

Just don’t blame me when members of the opposite sex want to be around you all of the time & you find yourself surrounded by envious onlookers everywhere you land. You will simply have to allow more time at each airport or Fly-In. So if you land and have to pee ….. run, don’t walk to the nearest potty otherwise you might wet yourself while answering questions.
