William
A. Wylam has created some amazingly detailed scale aircraft line drawings
for Model Airplane News. These line drawings of the Ford Tri-Motor from
the May 1954 edition of Model Airplane News is all you need to
see to understand just how good he was. Mr. Wylam, per his biography, holds
bachelor's degrees in biology and electrical and mechanical engineering.
He worked at Bell Labs and for numerous military and government agencies,
and owns more than 1,500 copyrights and 17 patents. The world is definitely
a better place for William A. Wylan's existence. If you're interested, here
is a video I made during a flight that Melanie and I took in a
Ford Tri-Motor in the summer
of 2013. Ford Tri-Motor Detailed Drawings

Notice:
The AMA Plans Service offers a
full-size version of many of the plans show here at a very reasonable cost. They
will scale the plans any size for you. It is always best to buy printed plans because
my scanner versions often have distortions that can cause parts to fit poorly. Purchasing
plans also help to support the operation of the
Academy of Model Aeronautics - the #1
advocate for model aviation throughout the world. If the AMA no longer has this
plan on file, I will be glad to send you my higher resolution version.
