Pionier 520Z Faltboote

[georgel]

I picked up a 2 person folding boat at a 2nd hand store yesterday. supposed to be complete except for the paddles. And the seats are de-laminating. I have not yet tried to assemble it. The rubber coated canvas skin is crazed so will need re-coating. Does anyone know where I might find an assembly plan for it. I should be able to figure it out eventually. But not in the 12 minute advertised assembly time. It looks very similar to a Klepper aerius. I will post a picture [from a brochure] on my site later today. I find refrences in German but So far no assembly plan

I came across your thread too late.

I also own a 520, unfortunately the deck has had it. It must have been the model Oscar speck paddled in from Germany to Australia in the 1930s (http://www.nswseakayaker.asn.au/mag/50/oscarspeck1.htm).
The most fruitful site for these old models is http://www.faltbootbasteln.de/

Send me a PM if you need help with the German.
