Rich too Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 This was my very first radio control plane, and I just came across the plans in a bunch of papers in the loft! They are in pretty good condition considering that they are nearly 40 years old! I thought I would post in case anyone needs a copy or reference info.

john stones 1 - Moderator Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 My first proper trainer that powered by an Enya 19 covered in Solartex (the model not the engine) and was a bit marginal on take off, once airborne though flew like a good un...happy days.

Cuban8 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 I have an old aeromodelling book somewhere in my collection (got to be 40 years old at least) that mentions Aviette Kits and IIRC that they were one of the pioneers of massed produced veneered foam wings in the UK. Wonder what happened to them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin Colbourne Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Rich, Great find! Is there any chance of getting your Ripmax Trainer plan uploaded to Outerzone, so we could all benefit from it? Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich too Posted January 17, 2020 Author Share Posted January 17, 2020 I am happy to supply a copy and/or upload to Outerzone, but how do I do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Stephenson Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Rich, I guess you would need to take the plans to a print shop where they have a large format scanner and get them to save it to a PDF file in a reasonably high resolution. Then submit it to the Outerzone. Andy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
