Pylon Racers Plan
 

Does anyone know where I can get the plans to make a pylon racer style plane?

RE: Pylon Racers Plan

Don't really know, anything to start with.

Probably enf up building both, if you've got the plans:D

RE: Pylon Racers Plan
 

You didn't find anything you like in the plan pages linked in the Free Plans thread at the top of the page here?

RE: Pylon Racers Plan
 

Take your pick. They are plans that I drew for my own use. The airplanes have glass fuselages and foam core wings. So some of the finer detai is not included. You will have to make some building decisions. The outline is correct. They are saved in Autocad 2000. I am not in the model airplane business so do not make parts for people.

I can email these to you if you wish.

I had a look in the free plans section, the only one I would find was in GIF format and was not very clear (Line were grey and I could not see them), I don’t think I could of built it from the plans.

Those are really beautiful planes, if you could supply the plans to me I would be very grateful. My email address is [email protected]

Is that a Nelson engine installed? I’ve been thinking about buying one, would you recommend them?

RE: Pylon Racers Plan
 

I have sent an email with the plans attached. If they do not go through let me know.

Both airplanes have a Nelson engine. Although both engines are .40 size they are a little different. The Q40 engine has different timing than the Q500 engine. The Nelson engine is the most powerful engine in it's class. It is the engine of choice in North America for both Q500 and Q40 racing. There is nothing to touch it. They retail for about $375 US.

Good Luck,

Ed S

Hello Ed!

I just read in the forum that you have the plans of
a Q40, it is a good looking plane! is it possible for
you to mail the plans to me?
i´m very interested in pylon racing, and i´m racing in
the Swedish Q500 series.


Thanks in advance!

I forwarded a copy of my seeker Q500 plans to those requesting plans above.

RE: Pylon Racers Plan
 

Congratulations. with fellows like you in the hobby, it gets better and bigger. thanks dick stamm

RE: Pylon Racers Plan
 

Hi Dave
Thanks for the plans, looks good, will be printing off and hopefully the next on the building boards.
Cheers

RE: Pylon Racers Plan
 

No problem, I had a lot of fun first drawing those plans off of templates I made from the first Seeker I built, and then working with a cad specialist and tweaking things over a period of time. Now I just call up my laser cutter and order kits that pop together like jig saw puzzles in a very short period.

If you build one, I would suggest skipping all the tabs and slots, they will add a lot of time in cutting out the parts. Then again, they add a ton to the strength and rigidity of the design.

RE: Pylon Racers Plan
 

Thanks Dave! I will kick around and see if I can find some green covering:D. Hey Dick, I thought you were on vacation?

RE: Pylon Racers Plan
 

Hi Ed

Would you mind sending me a copy of both sets of plans?

I want to use them to create 3D models for the flight sim G3.

RE: Pylon Racers Plan
 

I am looking for a Q500 and Q40 plans, if anyone has any of those to send me I would be very grateful.
