Is there any way to get the plans for the MS A-10 Warthog? Jen just emailed me that they weren’t available because “they were made from a community member”.

There are no plans for the Master Series A-10. It was designed by John Overstreet (Flite Test Midwest). Very few Master Series plans are available.

I'm confused, the full size plans print out on a 22x34 sheet, but the foam board is only 20x29.75 .
Are the full size drawings laid out to fit on the foam board?

Yes but they have a margin around the edges. I think they are on 22x34" sheets so that they can be tiled to standard 8.5x11" paper more easily.

The full size prints are indeed 34x22 (standard ANSI D size) to accommodate most print shops and to add a little extra info on the full-size plans. The area that is used for the part templates is 30x20 to fit a standard FT/DTFB sheet size. Keep in mind the plans are arranged to minimize tile seams across parts, not for best yield on a sheet of foam. You're better off cutting out all the parts and optimizing the layout on the foam for yourself to save on material.

@SP0NZ i don’t know if this has already been mentioned, but have you “re done” the plans for the ft 3D? If not do you know where I can the old ones?

Will plans for the FT Tenet be made available? I'd love a profile of the fuse and dimensions just to ballpark for trying to make my own fuse. I like the size of the wings/tail feathers, too.

Not to my knowledge, no. A lot of the STEM based curriculum (though available to the general consumer) is not available in plan format due to the nature of the STEM/STEAM licensing.

It should be pretty easy to scratch one out. Just grab a photo from the youtubes.

The ft store lists the length at "26-28" based on configuration", so with that, and a photo, you should be able to get real close.
