Matt Carlton Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Hello all, Lacking the ability to print plans myself, I wondered if anyone has a copy of PM's "Tequila Sunrise" that they'd be willing to part with? If this is the wrong place, please move it. Thankyou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will get a PDF file which you can take to any print shop or office supply shop who will be able to print it out for you for 3 or 4 pounds while you wait. Get a couple done as it is handy to have a spare. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Carlton Posted June 19 Author Share Posted June 19 I thought about that. Just need to find somewhere out here in the sticks 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Miller Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Hi Matt. Where are you? I have a local company who could help you out. As a point of interest You might consider have the plan enlarged a bit while you are at it. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought about an enlargement but I have an existing motor/esc/lipo that gives me about 190W, so the smaller size appeals.

Peter Miller Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Hi Matt No problem. It will be fine at that size. The original did not have the rudder connected but with smaller R/C that would be better connected. I would also use two mini servos for the ailerons. There are companies on the internet that will do prints from PDFs by mail. At the moment I am not too well and so would prefer not to have to go in to town if I can avoid it. Definitely get the instructions printed as well as they are fun as well as useful. You can do those on a normal printer of course. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Carlton Posted June 19 Author Share Posted June 19 Hi Peter, I'm sorry to hear that you are not very well, I hope it's nothing serious and you recover quickly. I try to use a rudder whenever I can, especially now that servos are so small and inexpensive. I'll find someone to print it, or, frankly, I might just order a copy from Sarik. Take care of yourself and get well soon, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Miller Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Hi Matt My main problem is old age but when I overdo things it floors me for a while. An afternoon flying and I don't very much at all for the next two days. Leave it with me for a day or two and I will go into Sudbury. Give me your address and I will do the envelope and can then get the print AND post the plan in one trip. I might even get an enlarged copy for myself....I need something to do modelwise Sarik would charge a small fortune. Peter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Carlton Posted June 19 Author Share Posted June 19 It creeps up on one. Lately I have developed an audible "oof" when I get up from a chair. I have messaged you my address. Thankyou so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 The plan on Outerzone is the RCModeller ( USA ) version but the words are from Radio Modeller ( UK ) Same plan it seems but redrawn by a different publisher. Wasn't Miss Lizzie the enlarged Tequila? Peter, what about an inline engine version for electric instead of radial cowl? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Miller Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Hi Matt. Try doing it at 86 1/2!!! Yes.Miss Lizzy was an enlarged version. If I can summon the energy I am toying with a 48" version just for something to do. I think that the radial cowl works well with electric power and there are not too many Thompson Trophy racers with in line engines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't Miss Lizzie the enlarged Tequila? Peter, what about an inline engine version for electric instead of radial cowl? Back in those days when British mags didn't go to the USA it was OK to sell to two mags. I did check!! Tequila Sunrise was in RCM and they used the same text. I had a lot of fun writing the stories that went with the "Lesser Known Aircraft From Aeronuttical History" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Hall Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 (edited) This is the second time I've built this plane. First time was when it was in Radio Modeller, while I was doing my A-levels. Second time was during lock-down, when I had more time and considerably better tools. I also took the opertunity to tweak it a little, to accommodate an electric setup. It turned out quite nice. Neither have flown. Edited June 19 by Andy Hall 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a nice model and I am tempted to build a larger one now....or maybe a Trivial Pursuit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piers Bowlan Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 Miss Lizzy at 51in span is a good size, me thinks. It has been on my build list for an electric conversion since Sep 2005 when the plan came out! A glaring omission by Sarik not to offer a parts set. Still, no biggy cutting out a set of parts oneself. Perhaps RCM&E should republish the plan in a future issue with a leccy conversion? Get well soon Peter, the modelling world is waiting for your next design. 😊 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Miller Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 These days 48" to "52 is my favourite size as they can go in my car in one piece. I just seem to have burnt out but I expect inspiration with strike some time. The constant cry from club members is "Have you found one yet?" which doesn't help.

Get well soon Peter, the modelling world is waiting for your next design. 😊 I was in the same position with a plan of Miss Lizzy, got round to building it over winter electrified. Flew it again yesterday, a really nice model.

Peter Miller Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 Glad you are enjoying her. She was a nice model to fly. Mine must have been over 12 years ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 I think a Leccy Lizzie would be popular as an RCME plan at about 52 inch span. Or maybe a crop sprayer version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Miller Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 Well, maybe someone will design that. I seem to have burnt out. My first published plan was in 1974. Duchess, a control line aerobatic biplane. That is 50 years ago. I started designing control line models in the 50s. DONE MY SHARE!!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Wagg Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 I've used this guy a few times. https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/flyer21uk Contact him and ask if he can do your plan (from Outerzone). Always been fine. I have also recently found a print shop near me and they did a plan for me. Just downloaded the plan onto a USB stick and job done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Miller Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 Just to show my mental state😵 I went to get the plan printed for Matt and took the envelope etc in to my Office Supply shop. When I got there I found I had left my memory stick at home. I got back in my car to go home and get it but luckily my Guardian Angel pointed out that the shop could download the plan saving me another three quarters of an hour and 16 miles of driving. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
