Was getting ready to cut the tapers in the caps, but I have hunted high and low and can not seem to locate the #314A drawing for the Main & Rear Outer S-18 wing beams. Would anyone be able to help me by providing a picture or scan of this single (11"x17") page? Please and thank you. Chris

Here is a copy. Although, mine doesn't say "Rev A".

That is not a current revision drawing as there is a 314 Rev A. Please keep in mind that these drawings are protected intellectual property of Thorp Aircraft.

Chris,

Do you have a set of plans? I do have all the current revision drawings. Give me a call to discuss the current revision drawing.

Alex,

Can you summarize what the Rev A change notes were from the drawing?

I am seeing additional detail on rivets in 3 places on the drawing and a Note 2 to reference drawing 228-1 for Spar details.

Thanks Alex.

Brings up another point. Is there a current list of every drawing sheet and the latest revision? I have S-18 SN046 plans and it would be good to compare current drawings I am working from to make sure there are no revisions that are needed etc.

I know many of the drawing updates were from newletters etc, but a reference sheet or spreadsheet would be awesome!

Rob
