The plans I sent PPlace were just the small print of them in the Model Aviation Mag. They are copyrighted so sending you the digital scan of full-size plans would be illegal anyway.
All I have to say is... DO NOT UPGRADE TO WINDOWS 10!!!!!!!!!!!!! For the love of all that is holy do not do it!

Seems that .NET 4.6 in Windows 10 creates all the problems...
This is all a very interesting conversation... and one that has been had before time and again. The reality always comes down to how much fun you make it with the tools you have. Personally, I've grown past making models for any sim and honestly, I rarely fly the sim anymore. I'm at the field...
An AV of my balsa-built McKellar Gee Bee Z. This is the 150% enlargement of his 28" plans... 42" span and electric powered. All airfoils, weights and throws are per my model. Enjoy.
Not sure if you are using GIMP or not but I highly recommend the GIMP plugin for doing normal maps. Its STUPID easy to use and the results are stunning. Looking very nice here. I hope you learn more as you are applying what you learn very well.
Several years ago I discussed the idea of re-doing...
No, don't mind at all. The FT planes are a good place to start modeling for RF IMO. They are very basic airframes with minimal compound curves. Its great to get your feet wet and refine your skills and efficiency of building. The physics are also predictable so hours of refining are avoided...
