Ok guys,

Just talked with the guy who is putting together all of the blueprints and have more information. Was incorrect, the largest of the scans is 500 megs each, not 500 gigs. He said that he believes that most of them are the 11 x 14 or next size up and hopes to get everything on one DVD.

Good idea on having all of them on the internet but two issues there. First is that some of the guys working with these old airplanes are in their 60's and 70's and for them a dial up connection is more than enough. It would take forever for them to download one of the large prints. Second is that once one person takes the time to download everything then they can share them with whoever they want or the world for that matter. Eventually this is probably going to happen anyway and we are just going to slow things down.

John, thanks for the offer but we are trying to compile drawings for only the old Aeronca's for the time being. That said, I have a very good friend who is restoring the old Ryan Monoplane that flew "Leo the Lion" for MGM Grand in the 1930's and if you have any of their old prints would love to get the two of you in touch.

Let me work with this a bit more and get back to everyone.
