RE: MAN Plans
For what it's worth, I ordered the 71" S.E.5a plans from MAN on October 13, and they arrived yesterday, November 9. That is a total of 19 working days - and the email order confirmation I got from RCStore.com said Canadian customers (that's me!) could expect delivery in 10-25 working days.
The plans are marvellous - very clean and very detailed. My only small complaint is that the copy of the construction article included with the plans was obviously photocopied or scanned at low resolution and poor contrast (i.e. a "text" mode) so the photos are indistinct to illegible. I am not too worried about this because the plans are clear enough and I can read the text in the article fine.
So, although I have very little interest in the magazine itself (nothing but ARFs and advertising), I have no complaints about the plan service on the basis of one experience.
