I tried to organize the drawings by type of construction and categorized them into plane type.
Some files are from forums I participate in where the members have collected and organized the plans from the forum onto one thread. I do not take credit for their efforts as they have done a great job doing so. My reason for this is to facilitate a preview to serve as thousand words to describe the plane. Some of the links will open a new page to the actual forum thread where the files can be downloaded and you can read the thread on further development from other members. I figured this is my only way in being fair to the owner of his creation. If you find your picture included here without any copyright credit (or with an incorrect one), please report immediately and contact me and a prompt correction will be made.
I am constantly finding more places with astonishment, The direction of model plane development is becoming more easily available geared for fun. The skill to build some of these vary, some are simple enough to build in an evening ready for flight the next day. The advancements in the technologies with electric brushless motors and new light weight batteries have made this possible to experiment and enjoy the hobby with instant gratification of new designs.
Below illustrate samples of file type and formats and some like DWG and DXF format native to AutoCAD will require having AutoCAD or other programs supporting this format. The drawings where collected from various places out of curiosity. Feel free to download them by clicking on the links. Also I can make available some PDF files for those without CAD software.
If you are interested in CAD programs visit my design tools page for more details.
Another option is are FREE viewer that will allow you to view and print the document.
Some drawings are ZIPed. You may need WINZIP to access the files, and for the PDF ACROBAT READER is needed.
