Default FREE plans

Does anyone have any FREE plans or know of where to get some? Don't really care what type of plane, but I don't want a huge airplane (around a 3 foot wingspan). I want to build my own airplane, but having problems getting started, so I just want to get some plans and build from there.

Lots of free plans that use coroplast signboard to build (cheap planes... can build one for just $5 [plus radio and engine] if you salvage the coro from the local "quickie Mart." )

How about the GW Sport? It's a parkflyer, it took me one month to build. It was my first scratch build, and it was a good place to start. I have a JPG plan scanned if you want it. It's also in the 2nd issue of Backyard Flyer if you want to read the construction article. Plans can be bought, too.

This guy has a huge amount of plans.

You just need someone to print them for you or be willing to tape them together out of 8.5 x 11's.

SeditiousCanary, I really want either an aerobatic plane (like an Extra 300S) or a P-51D Mustang. Got one of those?

Also, ptulmer, my dad (I'm 16) is an architect, so he works with AutoCad everyday and has those huge printers at his work, so I could just have hime print some plans out for me.
