Does anyone have any plans laying around for a good 3D plane. I would prefer a ribbed wing and something in the 46 size range.

I don't know of any plans floating around. Maybe someone will respond with a set for sale, but usually we like to save them to build replacements when the plane dies...lol. Maybe you could e-mail Paul Swany, or the guys at OMP and ask if you could purchase just the plans for one of their planes. You will save money buy just buying the kit though. You could design your own plane if you have access to an airfoil program such as Compufoil that will plot ribs for a tapered wing. The rest of the pieces can simply be hand drawn on paper. The highest level of satisfaction comes when you successfully maiden your own creation.

Hope this helps.

Considering how good the wood is in Pauls kits (Mojo) and how much time yuo save from having all those pre-cut ribs, etc. I really wouldn't consider building from plans - just buyt he damned kit and you'll be 100% glad you did.

I've been a scratch-builder from way back but even though I'd already bout a Mojo40 kit (and therefore had the plans) I ended up buying another kit because it saves me very little to buy the wood myself and everything just takes so much longer than working from his fine kit.

I might have a set or two of the old ACES 1 Edge 540 kit I used to produce. This plane has gone through several transformations and is in the new V3 stage offered as both a kit and ARF. Shoot me a PM if you want to get the old style plans. Otherwise I agree with William and XJet. I used to do a lot of scratch building and still do when I'm prototyping a plane but heck, considering you can get teh new V3 Edge from OMP at $70 complete that's a heck of a deal. Consider printing plans, buying all the wood, having all the parts precut, landing gear included, fiberglass tubes included. Not bad.

I have a free set of plans of my original court jester profile. I you are inerested I will mail them to you free, if you promise to build the plane and give a building and flying report. See the Court Jester in this profile section. Logair
