Bill Northrop's Plan Service


       Remove this ad - become a site supporter!
Has anyone here ordered from this company? Bill used to own Model Builder but apparently still maintains a plan company and the accompanying articles.

As there is no website or email, before I call, I'm trying to find out how much they charge for plans, if they ship to Canada etc etc.

Any input?

Bob

Just this summer, I ordered 3 plan sets from Bill, and 2 of his catalogs. I felt his prices were very fair, and our dollar was high. The service was excellent and he's a great guy to chat with on the phone.
Thumbs-up for his honesty and the quality plus quantity of his offerings!

Well I just ordered my plans, quite a nice gentleman on the phone and he loves to talk planes.

THere are actually 2 catalogs; 1 from Model Builder (all plans from every issue) and 1 for everything from old time Free flight designs, scale, cl and rc. Only $4 each so I ordered both.


Can't wait to get it, thanks for the feedback

Bob
