I, too, would like to model the AQKY but I can't quite make out some of the dimensions on the drawing you posted. Would you mind confirming or providing the following, please?<br /><br />Plan view, across the top: 2870 & 10450.<br />Width: 2147???<br />Distance from coupler to headstock?<br />At what height did you place your deck?<br /><br />Thanks if you can help.<br /><br />Regards<br /><br />Drew<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8410611928965232162.post-90909873315584506562013-09-16T03:26:49.500-07:002013-09-16T03:26:49.500-07:00Phil,

I acquired the outline drawing from AN many years ago together with the an outline for the AQEY but was unaware of the origins of the AQKY. There are more photos on Norm Bray's flickr site. would you be willing to share your drawing? On my outline it refers to an u/frame arrgt. AO-5-CM-199, is it the drawing you have? I have a couple of incomplete AR OCX kits that will do the job. Anyway, thanks for the post and hopefully you can post the finished model.<br />Regards,<br />Phil CollinsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
