There was also a half-way decent Radio-Electronics
article on the subject.
In the mid-to-late-70's surplus core planes were readily available from
the surplus dealers like Meshna, Poly-Paks, etc. Unfortunately these
are no longer as easily available on the surplus market, which is the
reason why I'm thinking about finding suitable readily-available materials
so that people can make their own core planes from scratch.
Actually, the DoD is selling lots of core these days. They all have part
numbers from Hughes, Sikorsky, etc., so I can only assume that they are
all things for custom military applications.
Of course, you did say "easily"...
