Thank you very much for the info. We ran into the same issue when we did our UPF, too many opportunists who took advantage of the information sources early on. I would like to think that if you can afford the plane, you can afford the time of those helping you out. I will drop him a line, and see what we can work out.<br />
<br />
Best regards,<br />

<p>Joe Rankin has all the drawings, and most of them are still legible. However, in the past there have been some unappreciative restorers who took up a lot of Joe's time with drawing requests, only to stiff him for his time, the printing costs, and the postage.</p>
<p>If you make it clear to him that you're looking to <em>buy</em> drawings from him, and know what drawings you need, he'll be much more receptive to your request. He has an aircraft repair/maintenance business that keeps him…</p>

<p>If you make it clear to him that you're looking to <em>buy</em> drawings from him, and know what drawings you need, he'll be much more receptive to your request. He has an aircraft repair/maintenance business that keeps him busy, housed, clothed, and fed. The Porterfield venture is just a sideline that has pretty low priority for him, thanks to the above mentioned flakes and opportunists.</p>
