RC Boat Plans - CAD Generated

PT boat plans

There are two "bundles" of these plans:

1. 1:32 and 1:24 in a single zip file. Each consist of two sheets in PDF format. Find out more here.

2. 1:16 ***NEW*** Giant scale on three 36" x 72" sheets. Read more here. For prospective buyers outside the USA: Make sure you have a printer who can handle the paper size!!

They are based on the RC PT boat that I was building, inspired by the old Lindberg kit I had as a teenager. All three are essentially the same design, only in three different sizes. Click the links above for more information.

Easy RC Boat Plans

If you're new to model boat building from scratch or just want something easy, try this one. It shares a similar easy-to-build hull construction as the PT boat, but is actually even easier to build.

The boat measures 15 inches long finished and weigh just over a pound (about half a kilo). The size was kept small to facilitate printing onto relatively common paper size.

The plan is laid out with all templates on five 11x17 size sheets and the bulkheads and other templates on two 8 1/2 x 11. The plan can also be printed on ISO-sized paper (A3 & A4). Click the heading or image above for more information. This is a real bargain.

More About These Model Boat Plans

They fall into two categories:

CAD generated and computer lofted

The CAD generated plans are of exceptional quality, simply because they have never been printed, scanned or folded. These are the best print quality and accuracy I've ever seen in a set of model boat plans. The first time they are printed is when you take the files to your local print shop. To my knowledge, nobody else offers this service.

Scanned and electronically cleaned up

The down-side with CAD generated plans is that, for a one-man-show, it takes a long time to generate each one of them. I've concluded that it would benefit more people to simply offer scanned plans of these historic ships.

These plans are still excellent quality, and of high resolution. As the originals are over 100 years old, many hours have been spent cleaning them up to a my own high standard

All plans are in pdf format. If there are more than a single pdf-document in the download, it comes as a Zip-file. For those files you will need a zip/unzip program to access the plans. I use jZip because it's free and reliable.

Changing the scale when printing out is tricky with pdf files. I have therefore formatted each document for a single scale. Follow the link for more tips on printing pdf's further down on this page.

At one point I offered the CAD generated plans in several different scales, all individually. It drove me crazy trying to keep track of it all, and try and figure some sort of price structure. I gave up and decided to offer all different scales of the same subject in a single download. It has worked out well.

When you buy these model boat plans you receive a zip file containing multiple drawings at different scales. You get more flexibility in choice of scale, I get less files to track. A win-win.
