Shepherd Plane Kit Info

[Ganthan Rhodes]

I recently got an older Shepherd Plane Kit (the instructions are dated 2002) and was hoping to use the Shepherd web site resources for help .

When I learned that Shepherd was having financial problems, I copied all of their Web-based kit building resources -- including web pages, .pdf, and video files. Since their web site now appears to be permanently gone, I'm using the info I saved to build my kit.

If anyone else is in the same boat, please PM me and I'll try to help you get the info you need.

Thank you Ganthan. That is a valued resource.

I’ve been told that Shepherd Tools' intellectual property has been sold. I've e-mailed Shepherd’s Receiver to find out who bought it, but haven't received a response yet.

In the meantime, because of copyright and legal issues, I have to refrain from helping people access Shepherd kit building resources. Hopefully, the new owners of Shepherd's intellectual property will fill this gap.

It will also be interesting to see if Shepherd is somehow resurrected.

I'm not sure if it's archived, but you may want to try:

http://www.archive.org/web/web.php

Often they will have archives of long dead sites. Just type in the URL and see what comes back. http://www.shepherdtool.com returned a lot of archives.

Bets of luck,

Michael

When I checked recently, the most current archive was dated March 29, 2005 and none of the kit building .pdf or video files were available. However, it's still an OK place to find some of the Shepherd .html and image resources.
