I purchased a set of plans from Bernard in the early 60's, and last year alsopurchased a set from St. Croix and also directly from Orrin Hoopman. All three sets are the same. All were drawn by Hoopman in May of 1934, whichrumor and hearsay tells me were updates of the drawings that he did for the1932 Flying and Glider Manual. I think Orrin was something like 15 years oldin 1932. The same rumor tells me thatBernard gave Orrin permission to sell the plans as drawn by him and I don't thinkDon Pietenpol has ever attempted to revoke this permissive use. I paid something like $75.00 for the plans set from Orrin, which included thedetail page of the wooden landing gear, the one page supplement of the longfuselage corvair version, and a full size airfoil pattern, and a hand writtennote from Orrin, which I keep with myoriginal plans from Bernard, also with a hand written note.Warren.________________________________________________________________________________
