Default Plan draftring for hire?

Does anyone draft plans for a fee? Has anyone used such a service? Can you suggest someone to contact, for example, do any of the kit cutting services provide plan drafting services?

I am looking for a 1/6 scale twin otter. Wingspan would be 130 inches. I am aware of a number of smaller scale plans which some have enlarged, but I am looking for plans with size appropriate design/building features and which could be scanned and cut by a kit cutting service.

Thanks for any suggestions; GoNavy.

There are a number of such services noted in above forums. Need to contact one such outfit and explain what you are thinking of.

I have already done numerous model plans on a commercial basis. Couple of the vendors here are currently selling copies off my prepared plans. But contact a few of the folks noted above in either of the forums headed by Thunder.

Finished price will sort of depend if you want something to re-sale or just a one off. You need to be very specific as to your intentions. Then too they often do NOT move around or otherwise adjust things to fit some revisions due to poor flying prototype, too many parts, too complicated, etc. For my customers, the get only three tries to get perfect. One Mfgr. took five times. That cost him.

I ran a member search for Thunder. There were 258 results. I found one in the list whose name was just "thunder".

Checking his dossier for threads started - zero; threads posted - zero. Searched all posts for thunder yielded zero. Tried again with "Thunder", zero.

Searched "Scratch Building, Aircraft Design, 3D/Cad for "thunder" - no results.
