RE: Buying Plans on Ebay
I'm guessing the guy that was shut down on e-bay was "uncle-willie's plans". I see he no longer sells there. At least not under the same name. I bought from him several times and was quite happy with the service and very high quality of his cleaned up plans. He always threw in a free random plan set on each order too. Some were pretty good! I tried buying a Telemaster 40 plan from MAN plans service and after being told it would take 8 weeks to get them copied and sent to me I told them to pound sand and canceled my order. Bought it on e-bay and had it in a week. RCM isn't much better either. I usually buy on impulse so I don't spend what could take hours of research to find out who did the design and who I should seek out to buy from IF that person is still around. I don't do this to cheat the designer out of royalties. It's simply a matter of buying what I want when I see it available.
