Tim Ballinger Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Is it just me? I have been getting a shop closed message for the past week when I have gone looking for plans. Has it moved or is there a problem? I do not see any postings on the subject so am a little confused. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 9 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 I'm afraid it has gone to the wall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Ballinger Posted July 30, 2017 Author Share Posted July 30, 2017 I am amazed it has gone so quietly. Is there another way to get at the old plans ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piers Bowlan Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 There are other plans services likes Derek's plans here. Also, Aerofred here and Outerzone, here. Traplet plans are currently not available. Please do not discuss them on this site as the host, RCM&E, do not wish the discussion of the problems of a competitor on their website, - fair enough. Three threads have been locked already, you have been warned! Good luck. Edited By Piers Bowlan on 30/07/2017 09:49:38 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Dell Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Tim Until the dust settles and the future is clear for the vast collection of plans that was the plans service the only options you have are the link below, he also has an EBay shop, does supply printed copy rather than files, I can recommend him. **LINK** Other than that there is Outerzone and Aerofred as free downloads.

Pete B Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 The first part of BEB's post on this page may provide some explanation, Tim. When further news is available, I'm sure we'll be informed. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisB Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 I'm confused. I thought the owners of this forum had no connection with those who shall not be named....... However, when you click on 'SHOP' at the top of this very forum it goes to that very same 'shop closed' page of those who shall not be named...

Tim Ballinger Posted July 30, 2017 Author Share Posted July 30, 2017 Thanks all , I get the message. However with no obvious factual info available on the site home page or banner other late arrivals may keep raising innocent questions.

kc Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Chris seems to have missed last years news that MyHobbyStores plans and therefore all the old RCME, Radio Modeller, RC Scale Qtly, etc plans were transferred to Traplet. Hence the current unavailability. Back issues of RCME with the pullout plans might still be availble but only fairly recent ones and presumably they will sell out of some popular plan issues. Old magazines -some still with the pullout plans - are available from Magazine Exchange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guvnor Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Posted by Andrew Ray on 30/07/2017 10:49:34: There must be a wealth of these currently unobtainable plans in the possession of forumites. With current technology it is easy enough to get a plan copied and downloaded for electronic transmission. How about a plans wanted topic? If a design is wanted and someone is prepared to copy it would it be feasible to connect the two parties? Or is copyright going to be an issue? They may be unobtainable at the moment, but someone, even if it's an official receiver, owns the copyright. Copy and distribute at your peril...

Nigel Dell Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Tim It is a problem, there is no actual information as yet but these things take time to sort out, the information on the site could be more direct I guess to leave no ambiguity but there it is, the problem on here was the daft speculation and conspiracy theories that were banded about by a minority so best not to say anything until the facts come out which I am sure they will in the fullness of time I know of at least two who are actively looking at the plans but anymore than that would be speculation. Meanwhile what are you actually looking for? I do have a fair collection myself so may be able to help although I am incapacitated presently it might be something I can lay my hands on.

Pete B Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 In the light of previous threads here regarding Traplet, I'll lock off this thread until some hard information is available. This and the other threads will serve to get the message over to those unaware of the current state of play. Thanks for your understanding.... Pete ps I can't see any reason why a plan swap thread cannot be started? Edited By Pete B - Moderator on 30/07/2017 12:08:47 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
