Derick's Plans and Plan Swap WebSite - 2022 Plan List - I am trying to create an reference archive of model designs over the years. This is my hobby and not a commercial venture. All my plans are available free to swap as files or paper copies. If you want a print and don't have any to swap, I then have to charge for paper and ink but I make no profit on this.

Academy of Model Aeronautics/John Pond Plans Service: The John Pond Plans Service was purchased by AMA in late 2002. There are over 3000 Sam era plans available for literally every gas and rubber powered old time model.

Jim O’Reilly’s Plans: Jim is a master draftsman that has recreated the old original model
plan blueprints into a modern state-of-the-art Cad drawing that offers
dead-on accuracy for the discriminating builder. Plans illustrate all
the wing, stab, fuselage and small parts patterns (these were never
detailed on the original plans). Many of the gas plans are drawn not
only in the original free-flight form but also offered in a modernized
r/c version. Gas plans also illustrate the use of modern fiberglass
motor mounts rather than the original’s wooden beam mounts. Over
150 plans in both gas and rubber power are offered. Illustrated catalog
is $2.00.
