Default Aquabird Plans

Since RCM Plans Service can't seem to get me the plans I ordered months ago
does anyone have a set of the "Aquabird" plans that they can have copied or a
scanned file that they can e-mail me of the above subject?

Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks,

I do,, plans, the magazine, and a started near complete plane too, I'd be inclined to sell the whole kit and caboodle.

bought it a while back and it's been sitting


also,, there's this http://us.trapletshop.com/copy-of-aquabird

The shipping on the partially built Aquabird would probably be very high from
Ohio to Louisiana but if you could post some photos here and send me a PM
of the amount of money you would like to have for the "whole kit & caboodle"
I would take it into consideration.

Thanks for the reply,

Bill D.

probably right, it would have to go in two packages to make it practical via fedex.

I'll shoot some numbers to your PM, I need to lay out the plans to see what I got, see if they are even copy-able,, they have been folded.

BTW I contacted Traplet, everything they list ships from the United Kingdom,
so postage on the plans and cowl will probably be high, not to mention the import
duty I would be charged.

Bill, sorry to say the plans that came with mine are not complete and have been cut for building,, not really worth copying

Thanks for looking I really appreciate the time you took. I have contacted Traplet on their
complete plans, cowl & short kit and the shipping is high, But I also have found
someone over on RCG that has a set of plans, just got to do some negotiating
to help him out so I can get a scanned or printed copy of his set.

Again thanks very much for your time, it is really appreciated, it is fellow modeler's
like you that make this hobby what it is, most enjoyable.

Well I thought it was you but I still appreciate the time you spent checking out your plans.

Yes I did know about Hemikiller, he has been doing work for me for a couple years now,
I highly recommend him to everyone, he is the greatest when it come to plans work, be it
just a printed copy from my files or either reducing or enlarging, and he is by far the least
expense route to go even over the local blueprint shops even though you have to pay shipping! ! ! ! !
