Aerokit plan availability?

Thanks Chris. I wondered what had happened to him.
I cannot promise to finish one project before starting another. I know, I tried.

Aerokit plan availability?

He's posting regularly on the Model Boats Magazine forum as Harry Smith1.

Usually upsetting us by telling us what the temperature is down under!

Trouble is with that plan is like other Aerokits it doesn't have the bulkheads and other parts drawn out. As usual the plan and side views are very good though so easy enough to draw.

Just found this plan from an earlier post by Canabus. Where is Canabus anyway. Not seen him for ages.

Be very wary of EBay. There is a guy selling plans where he is using the Aerokits kit plans etc and then adding his own for the bulkheads and other parts which are very badly drawn and almost unuseable. He says they are to a high standard, yes, the printing is, but the drawing part is rubbish!

I bought a set for a Fairey and had to completely redraw the bulkheads etc. The kit drawings for the plan and side views are really good as they are the original kit drawings but the rest are very poor.

Hi Joe,
" I didn't think to look on eBay."
Actually Joe Ebay's not where I started either!
I simply followed one of the links of the original search I posted via Google and Pinterest and Dealsan was one of the best options presented for plan purchases.
Much success with your build, whatever it turns out to be👍

Hi,
Only snag for a 'scratcher' with Peter's plan is that there are no hull profiles/bulkhead forms shown🤔
But if you can read a plan and measure accurately I guess you could plot them out.
More power to your calipers 👍🤞

If this one is of interest I could scan the other smaller plan and post here. This would be in 4 parts as I can only scan A4.

Hi Joe.
Try printing this to A0. I made this boat many years ago and have now started a renovation. I had lost the main plan but one kind soul sent this to me. I have printed it to A0 and it is not too bad.

Most of the Aerokit plans don't show the actual parts and sizes as they were made for the kit. Seeing what's available on eBay might take some work and a lot of checking. Check twice cut once.
My Sea Queen and 46" RAF Crash Tender only came with two sheets.

Doug,
Good link, I didn't think to look on eBay. Yes, I'll have to break down and spend some money, don't mind doing it for some decent plans.

Ianh,
Thank you, I will get in touch with them to see if I can purchase plans. I did come across one of the sites yesterday but did not see how to purchase from them. Thanks again.

I don't think you will be able to get plans as Jotika and SLEC UK have bought the rights to most of the Aerokit range and are producing them as kits.
At present I have a Sea Queen Kit from Jotika and a 46" crash tender kit from Lesro UK

Doug,
Thanks for the note, yes, I searched the basic google searches, most respnses are 7 to 10years old and I have followed all links.
However, I have yet to find an actual plans DOWNLOAD. Hope someone can help.

I see that the Aerokit boats are popular in the UK and make for some nice RC boats. Being in the States I have never come across these. I am looking for some basic plans for scratch building my own. My internet searches have come up dry, are any of you aware of a site for downloading plans?

Thanks, Joe 🤞
