I saw this post a while ago and meant to go back and check it. While building a beta version of the soon to be released Simple Scout, I noticed the same issue with the spar. I went back and checked the source (laser) files and discovered that they are off as well, for both the Simple Cub and the Simple Scout. I will make the corrections for the update to the Simple Cub. Luckily, I have time to fix the Simple Scout before it gets released.
Thanks for catching it and providing feedback.

Dear SP0NZ
About the plan of the Mini Sparrow:
I noticed an error: two of the lines in the body-fuselage are not correct: the lines between the botton and sides. They are black/full and should be red/striped.
If you would really cut them through as is intended with black full lines, you end op with a fuselage-part in three pieces instead of one.

Do you have the tiled plans for the Air Hogs Intruder that you built for Flite Fest?
Thank you. I have revised the CAD file and will publish new plans and send them to FT soon. I'll post the updated plans here as well. Appreciate the feedback.
Thanks for the kind words, it's much appreciated.
I use AutoCAD, but I don't really recommend it for hobby use. It's way to expensive for that. localfiend created a template for FT style plans using DoubleCAD XT which is a free CAD program that he and a few other people here have been using with success. I would recommend you start there. here's a link to localfiend's thread:
FT Style CAD Templates
First, Welcome to the forums! Great to have you here.
As for the A-4 and F-5 plans, still a work in progress. Ben has sent me the (hopefully) final version of the A-4 and I am actively working on finalizing the plans. Once Ben approves those, they will be made available. As for the F-5, that is a question for Ben. He has a few projects that he is working on at the moment and as far as I know, the F-5 isn't quite ready to be released just yet.
As Dan said, the A-4 is in-process and close.
The F-5 however, is just this side of DOA for a while. My own plans are out on the build thread, and you're welcome to build it. But with Andres' X-29 out, which is very similar in size and performance (only better), the F-5 is on the back burner. It's still a stinkin' fun jet - and I gave a kit to Andres too - but I'm focused on the A-4, F-4 and Valkyrie projects right now.

Another first time poster, welcome to the family!
As for the Intruder...
No plans to share yet. Work, Life and other projects have been keeping me pretty busy. And to be honest, the prototyping process of making plans, printing, tiling, cutting, taping, making templates, tracing, and cutting foam is getting really really old for me. When you start designing and then making changes and repeating that process multiple times, it really starts to slow down the creative process. Which is why I am going to build a Rascal CNC machine. So for now, I'm going to focus on helping the Rascal CNC team out with the release, build my own Rascal and get that up and running this fall. Once that is operational, the Intruder development will be my top priority. Realistically. I think getting the design and plans done this winter should be a very achievable goal.
thanks for the reply ben, as much as I admire Andres x29 I do prefer the look of the f5. i just want a something that is not OTT to build (although i do like a bit of a challenge) and something that is fast, presumably this jet ticks both of these boxes ? i think ill build it from your plans on the build thread.
Don't know what "OTT" means, but the F-5 is definitely faaast!!
Give the plans a try, and post any questions you have in that build thread. Good luck!ott- over the top
just seen your F4 Vid. you have certainly outdone yourself, a very impressive model. I may be too tempted by the phantom and build it. it could be the first one to grace the not so sunny skies of the UK. dependant on whether i can get access to a laser cutter though.
stay tuned for lots of questions

Changes:
Changes:
- Plans updated to latest template format
- Rear fuselage tabs (and corresponding horizontal stabilizer slots) removed
- Updated the power pod to the latest version from Flite Test
- Both fuselage doublers included with plans
- Two sets of German Cross graphics included in plans.
Thanks so much for the kind words. The feedback means a lot to me. I'm always grateful that people appreciate what I'm doing. Out of curiosity, which plane did you just build from the old FT plans?
