Better drawings

I just found out that it is difficult to download the drawings package from the Babelfished site. So, here's the link to the Russian original.

When you press the link for the drawings, you have to "save as", otherwise you get a rar-file as text.

I have attached the two drawings in the package as .jpg illustrations. Originals are high-quality .tiff files. Download these if you are going to use them. (Found out later that these drawings in fact are included in the first package below; apologies...)

Further searching led to the Airwar.ru site, which has two superior sets of drawings with lots of interior details and engine, plus other versions, including floats and the civilian version, which turns out to have been a five-seater with rather unorthodox arrangement of the seats.


Get the drawings above here: http://www.airwar.ru/other/draw/po2.html

These are really superior sets of drawings, too large to include as anything but linked illustration. Go download a Po-2 feast!

PS. The comic strip in the margin of the second drawing below brings back nostalgic memories. It is from Aeromodeler, vintage ca 1960, also published in Ron Moulton's book on control-line flying, same vintage; bible of my youth. No idea why the draughtsman or publisher included that one!
