Yes, their are magazines with "pull out plans" Flying Scale Models always has one, or a half each issue. Fly RC has had some also. There are other ones from Italy, UK, and Japan; but I do not see them all the time. There are also many internet plan sources, even giant warbirds.

I am not sure many of the AMA plan service plans (not counting Model Aviation) are OK for beginners today. AMA does have its online sport flyer site with plans and construction advice. I guess all young people use the internet before magazines anyways and can tile the smaller plane plans. Plans I think real beginners would like would be ones to use the equipment they get in the Walmart, Radio Shack type of arfs using material they could get from a craft stores (Walmart does not even sell balsa wood today).
