Century Tow Cobra - Help


       Remove this ad - become a site supporter!
Hoping someone out there can help.

I have just pulled out my kit for the Century 700 size Tow Cobra looking forward to building it up. However upon opening the box, I am missing the plan sheet that is used to setup the brass tube and former locations in the fuselage. Also and more importantly I am missing the canopy framework for the cockpit.

I've contacted Century directly and they say they haven't carried that model for some time and there are no parts available.

Is there someone that can help? I'd be happy to make a mold off a framework if someone were willing to lend it out.

Thanks in advance,
Bob

I believe this is the manual you are looking for:

Thanks Phil. I have the manual with the kit. Step 4 references a blueprint to setup the tail drive and tail formers. I don't have any blueprints or plans. Just the really bad instruction manual.

Giving the tail system some thought. I'm considering the idea of an electric motor to drive the tail rotor instead of the speedo cable setup.

Anyone with a suggestion on how to size an electric motor for the tail drive?

Thanks
Bob
