Wire10ga and Sponz to the rescue
shane, If you are ok with taping the plans together, I will print out whatever plans you want and ship them to you for free. pm me your mailing address and which plans you want and number of copies, and I'll get them sent you to you within a day or two.

Wire10ga and Sponz,
So glad you replied and sorry it takes me a while to get to your messages and reply myself, my resources (and online time) are limited.
I wanted to thank you both for you offer to mail me the plans I need for the kids planes.
I think I will take Sponz's advice and build the tiny trainers for them. In an effort to avoid any double efforts, can you guys decide who sends me the plans and I will PM both of you our mailing address.
I think I only need one set of plans to do all three if I follow the directions for making templates that sponz mentioned.
I would like to build the powered version for at least one of the planes with a swappable mini power-pod.
We now have the financial resources to actually buy the Radio Transmitter and Receiver plus the hardware we would need (at least for one complete setup).
Can you guys help me complete a list of parts (below) I should buy for a complete plane including the radio, receiver, motor, battery, servos, prop, control rods, and speed controller?
I was going to order from Hobby King but someone mentioned that they may have issues with keeping items in stock as well as issues with shipping & returns.
Can you confirm it is OK to order from the new HobbyKing Us-based warehouse? I just looked and many people are complaining in the comments for various parts that they have been waiting forever.
Maybe flite test is a better store to order from - please advise if possible... I also have a local Hobby Store Hobby Lobby (I think is the name) they are helpful but expensive.
Or perhaps suggest an alternative source with similar pricing (cheap!).
Your effort here are so very much appreciated and we look forward to the builds and filming our first flights for you guys.
We all thank you from deep within our hearts, you guys are to be commended for helping me with getting the kids flying.
