Help! Might Mini Tiny Tutor Traced Plans?

[To_many_planes]

Hi, I really want to scratch build the Mighty Mini Tiny Tutor but seeing as FT dosen't sell the scratch build plans (I really think they should on FTCA) I am out of luck. For people who have bought it and made "plans" from tracing it out. Is there any way to share those tracings with people or does that violate some sort of TOS or Copyright law?

Thanks

Plans for the Tiny Tutor are available for sale from the FTCA https://ftca.flitetest.com/product/ft-tutor-1055mm/
I believe you need to be a member to purchase the plans, but there is a free membership available.

That's the Tutor. I'm talking about the Mighty Mini Tiny Tutor. Found here: https://store.flitetest.com/ft-mighty-mini-tiny-tutor/

FT does prohibit you from copying and sharing the plans from the FTCA website in the terms and conditions you agree to before purchasing, so I bet they'd also frown upon sharing tracings of a speed build kit.

I think someone said in the recent podcast that the Tiny Tutor plans and the rest of the backlog will be released in the future. If you can wait for an official release, I definitely would. Or you could buy a speed build kit and trace the parts yourself for future rebuilds! (That's what I ended up doing. )

If you're dead set on scratch building something like the Tiny Tutor, you could try building a Mini Old Fogey from the FTCA plans or maybe scale down the full size Tutor plans and make your own mini version.

My mistake, I didn't realize they made two sizes.

Like Flyingshark said, if you were feeling ambitious, you could probably scale down the Tutor plans then tweak them as necessary based on the Tiny Tutor build video. Probably would need a bit of experimentation to get it just right.
I don't know if sharing traced plans would violate any kind of TOS. If you were selling them, or somehow hurting FT's business, they would care. (That's part of the reason free plans disappeared in the first place.)
But sharing some tracings with a friend to help get them into the hobby? I think Flite Test would be okay with that.

The plans are meant for personal use only. Sharing a digital copy of a for purchase plan would violate the terms.
With that said, there are some changes about plans to be announced soon.

The Might Mini Tiny Tutor plans will be coming in a couple months. I am working on current release stuff right now and will work my way thru the backlog (currently 7 plan sets I believe) as I have time. Please have a little patience as I try to catch up.

I didn't mean to insinuate that one should share a digital copy of the plans.

No. You're good, brother! I just wanted to clarify. All good!

Wait, there are?
