What style Moth are you looking at building? Phil Stevo has some plans for his chainsaw moth up on the Australian Moth website www.moth.asn.au that might be a good starting point for a ply hull. Anything in Composite will be harder to find as they are either one offs or mass produced by a factory.

ahh a moth, have seen these being sailed absolutely awesome. Just looked at plans, im building a land yatch at the moment but this may be my next project. Didnt even think about building a moth until now. Please let me know your progress or if you find other plans. Did you read they are classified as experimental aircraft he he he

Are Foiling Moths aircraft? CASA thinks so.

still interested?
the main man in perth is john ilett. he has built a lot of moths over the years, was one of the foiling pioneers andstill races them.
google "fastacraft."
i'm sure he'd offer to build you one but he might be able to point you at the right local resources to get it done.

it is a pretty big job. the hull and wings are only part of it, the hardest part is the foils especially if you want to race and be fully competitive. what have you built before and what sailing have you done?
