Has anybody bought any plans from this EBay shop in the USA. http://stores.ebay.co.uk/VINTAGE-AIRPLANE-PLANS I am fancying the Sopwith Triplane, which I have not been able to find kitted anywhere, but would like some advice on how good the instructions are. Paul > Has anybody bought any plans from this EBay shop in the USA. > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Paul As it says plans and not kit I wouldn't expect there to be anything more than very rudimentary instructions if any. Plans are usually just that, and expect the builder to have the experience to understand them. If you wish to buy them and havn't got the knowledge to build it you could always find someone in your local club to impart some wisdom your direction. (That is of course unless you belong to one of those clubs where everyone has "bought" into the hobby.)

I wouldn't touch him. > Has anybody bought any plans from this EBay shop in the USA. > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Paul I emailed him asking for postage to the UK, and I have not had a reply, which looks like his main problem apart from a few none posts or missing posts, so I will not be buying anything Shame because I do fancy a big Sopwith Triplane.

Paul How long since you emailed him? Perhaps he's away or not in his office for the w/e? Paypal is very robust, so very unlikely indeed you will loose your money. His feedback is ~95%. Another way of saying it is 19 out of 20 you will get your plans with no problems anyhow. But if it was me, I would have set up Outlook to auto reply to queries to say something like 'Back on Monday', and it seems some of his feedback could have been easily avoided... Doesn't mean that the plans are u/s though.

I would not deal with the guy unless last resort. RS > His feedback is ~95%.

Ther are better plans around. How big? I am looking for 1/4 or maybe a 1/5 Paul > There are better plans around. > > How big? Sorry all, Outlook express threw a wobbly with me and instead of removing my post from the outbox when sent, left it there to send again and again! Humble apologies Dave :^) |
