When the Slingsby factory in Great Britain decided to move away from wooden construction, the aluminium T-53 was developed. It features two fixed tandem wheels and a very obvious swept forward wing.

The Slingsby T-53B was a minor modification of the Slingsby T-53 two seat tandem trainer, and was used by the RAF for Air Cadet training.

The original plan only shows a right hand wing, so I will include a mirror image print of the plan sheet so you have a left and right hand wing plan to build over.

Wingspan: 11" / 2819mm Number of channels: 2 - 3 Number of sheets: 2 Includes original construction article

--- Plan Printing Service ---

I am pleased to be able to offer a quality plan printing service for scratch builders, for plans up to 36" / 915mm wide. I have a selection of classic plans of popular model aircraft available for you to browse and print. All of the plans are in the Public Domain, so the only cost is for the printing service.

If there is a particular plan you are looking for there are tens of thousands of free plans available for download at Outerzone http://www.outerzone.co.uk or Aerofred http://www.aerofred.com

Check those two archives and we can arrange for you to email me a plan PDF for printing. The cost for most 36" plan sets is $13.90 for one sheet, and $12 for each additional sheet per plan.

Plans are delivered folded down into an A3 size courier packet. Please note that I cannot deliver to rural addresses.

The images shown are indicative of the completed model built from this plan. This auction is for a print of the plan and any relevant construction article.
