This is a rare opportunity to own the Carbon Dragon Drawing Set (Plans) and the Blanton Plywood Kit which are no longer available from the original sources, Maupin Ltd and H. F. Blanton.  The drawing are 23 pages, 2 feet by 4 feet, with most parts drawn full-size.  While the drawings include much of the information required to build the Carbon Dragon, a builders manual is included.  The drawings are excellent while the builders manual is adequate. Irv Culver and Jim Maupin are the designers of this unique sailplane.

H. F. Blanton Plywood Kit ..... partial set shown 

The parts shown to the right are from the H. F. (Fred) Blanton (Fred) Plywood Kit.  These plywood kits are no longer available.  This plywood kit not only contains all the 1/4 inch mahogany plywood parts machine-cut to exact size but also the plywood pieces needed for the form used to build the tail boom. 

To the right are parts that were displayed at the SHA Western Workshop several years ago.  Photo by S. Steve Adkins.
