There are no plans for one however LDS can cut you an enlarged one and you can get the plans enlarged at Kinkos or Stapes. A WWII canopy from Sig should work as well. i started one at 150% for a 120 fan last year got tied up with work and stopped right after I cut out all the parts

Bob,
Have you had any luck with the 70mm e-turbinator plans at all?
I can check around, I think they were provided by one of the US mags at one stage...

I can enlarge the laser cut parts, also I can print the plans to the same scale.

Well I've gotten a bit more of the e-turbnator built..

I've cut out the covering over the retract section.
I've test fit the 9g metal gear servos.. They needs the servo mounts open slightly lengh ways.
And test fit the flying surfaces prior to building..
