Thanks to some sterling work by John Marsh, we now have a growing set of building plans for carrier models, all drawn or converted into ultra-accurate Computer Aided Design format. You can download these full-sized plans as PDF files, and then print them yourself using a ’tiling’ app (print on A4 sheets then tape them together) or take them to your local copy shop for a full-sized A0 printout.
If you’ve designed a model for which you’d like to see a plan drawn up in this way, (and don’t mind other pilots building from it to fly against you!) then Email John for a chat about what he needs and how to get that info to him.
To view a plan, please click the link in the ‘Aircraft’ column. Depending upon how your PC is set up, this will either display the PDF file for immediate action or send it to your ‘Downloads’ folder. Either route allows you to view, save or print it.
