Estes Plan #55 Starship Excalibur
I have been wanting to build the Starship Excalibur from Estes's plan #55 for a while now. Unfortunately, the scan of plan up on Jim Z's website leaves a lot to be desired. Does anyone have copy of it that they could scan and post so I, and anyone else who wants it, could get a copy in better quality? I just missed acquiring an original copy of the plans off of ebay, or I would do it myself.
Thanks! |

These are from the plan book that participants received from Estes at NARAM-11 in 1969 at Colorado Springs.

There are two other pages, but they are too large to upload. I will see what I can do.

Wow Chas! Those are great! Thanks so much. If you can figure out how to upload the other stuff that would be great too. Again, much appreciated!

I just ried to save them as zip files, but they are still too large. I did send copies of all of the plans to YORS. I have never looked to see if they had been posted.
Send me a private message with your e-mail and I can send them directly. The first two pages are building instructions and the scans overlap. BTW, I did get Vern Estes to sign the booklet a couple of years back. Chas |

Those are great! That is one I fondly remember wanting to build and now you've gone and reminded me of it .
Try rescanning in black and white instead of color - your file sizes will be MUCH smaller. I have a small Semroc order saved but not yet turned in. It looks like it's going to get a bit bigger . Also, I'd go Kevlar shock cord anchor and a baffle rather than recreating the original in that regard. Last edited by BEC : 01-18-2010 at 06:23 PM. |

Not yet. But, I did increase the size of the PDF's that can be uploaded so you should be able to upload the first two pages to this thread now.
