looking for FT Mighty Mini Tiny Tutor

I recently purchased the FT Mighty Mini Tiny Tutor full starter kit. The video states that you offer the plans for the plane for free on your website, but I am unable to find them. I was directed here to the forums, and I am still not finding these plans. I am relearning how to fly, and know I am going to need to make replacement parts. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately they stopped making plans available for new designs as of a couple years ago. The Tiny Tutor is one of the affected designs. The only way to make replacement parts is to make copies of the parts when you receive the kit.

If you wanted to do any of the numerous older designs, those plans are all available on the Sponz Index.

Or you can buy the plans.
Or if you join FTCA and use the $6 coupon you can get them for free.

Sorry, this is the regular Tudor!

There are currently no plans released for the FT Mighty Mini Tiny Tutor. I've not seen mention of free plans for the FT MM TT in the videos.
However, there are purchasable plans available for the original FT Tutor via the FTCA Portal for FTCA Members.

You made a little typo. The original Tutor, not Tiny Tutor, is available on FTCA.

Initially new plans were being posted for sale on FTCA, but none of the new ones have been added for over a year now. Nobody is quite sure of what’s going on with that. Regardless, the Sponz index includes all plans that are available on FTCA, so if it’s not on there, it’s not available.

Thanks for the catch! Corrected.
FTCA currently will only offer select plans, not all. SPONZ is working on some of the new plans as I type. To be released soon, hopefully. I believe the next one is the RV-12iS.

Trace the pieces on poster board to create templates before you build the kit. I learned the hard way once, now it's the first thing I do when I get a SBK. A lot of planes are no longer available for purchase and never had plans, so if you don't make templates, you're outta luck.

I use a xerox machine to create my back-up plans from them SBK. That works well as well.

Yes, I was waiting everyday for the plans for the Zero.... still waiting. Unfortunately, this was time they decided to stop releasing plans. So, I bought another to make a set of plans. It's fun for me to scratch build and speed build.
