You can find the full E&M manual on WWW.PBY.COM Home Page - if I remember it has a similar drawing as above. Look under Archive.

hi micdrow,

nice drawings, but don't trust them for shape, the only good thing on them is the measurements.

Thanks John, I will try and remember that. Those drawings came from the austrialan archives if I rember right.

no problem my friend,

trouble is a lot of people think that because these drawings are in an official manaul that they are accurate, they are not, they are best used for the measurements and general arangements, the same for station drawings, with these it is best to draw a line to the scale you want marking of the stations at the correct measurements, then draw the outline over the top checking alll the while that the stations line up with know parts(engine bay, cockpit and fin.

hope this helps you guys.
