GPM Assembly instructions

I have the GPM Bleriot XI and the cover says (in English) that assembly instructions are available on www.gpm.pl. I can't find anything on the site. Does anyone know where the instructions are located (if they exist)? The model is complicated enough that I could use all the help I could get.

Thanks!

I can't find it either...

That doesn't help much, but I do speak Polish, and I know at least one other person here does as well!

I get an error when I try clicking on 'download' - but I'm not registered. I wonder if you register and then try clicking on the download button?

When I go to download, I see free PDFs for stuff like a gas can and an ammo box.

The site is pretty broken... if you go to English mode, random pages are in Polish.
Edit:
Or in the case of downloads... English = fatal error, Polish = the PDFs

On some of the models when you click on the photo a window will pop up showing a larger photo and instructions. As you know this doesn’t work with the Bleriot XI.

I would drop a note to GPM requesting the instructions, it will take a few days but they will respond to your request.

Hi all,

just send a mail to gpm and ask for the english instructions. They will send you very soon the needed instructions via mail. I did this several times and I had to wait only a day or two. The only problem is - they don´t have english instructions for every model, but for most of the new ones.

cheers,

Jörg

Thanks to all! I'll send GPM a note and ask for the instructions. (I assume they have them, since it's advertised on the booklet's cover.)

Cheers,
Bill

Given that the majority their largest current market speaks English and that English is a more universal language, as most countries can speak English even when it's not their native language, you would think that they'd realise, that it makes sense to print English instructions as well as Polish ones with the kits.

I've got a few models from GPM that are more recent than the Bleriot and they all have both Polish and English instructions. At least one also includes instructions in German. Looks like they started including English instructions a short time after Bleriot was released, which unfortunately doesn't help DrBill :(
