You should send out a few emails with offers to pay for printing and
shipping to a few companies. You could likely get them for free or close.
Companies often help students with these kinds of projects. Heck, they may
like to get your results if their model has never been put into Autocad.

Can't hurt to ask

Thanks for the reply Richard. I don't know how the designers work it as
far
as copyright goes. Maybe the resale of plans is prohibited for what ever
reason. I don't know. I am not going to build. What I want them for is
for reference. I am enrolled in College for an AutoCad course. When I'm
done I would like to have a detailed 3D Model of an aircraft with a
cutaway
section. It will be great for a portfolio I think. With any luck a
future
employer will be into aviation

: You mean, like someone who decided not to build? Otherwise, someone
who
:already built one, and sold the plans to you would be violating
copyright,
f one plane per plan. You wouldn't want to do that, would you?

There are people out there that collect plans. Some as references for
some other kind of plane they're going to build - grabbing good ideas
anywhere they're found - and some just because they like airplane
plans. For them, it wouldn't matter if a plane had been built from
the plans or not.

Don't know if that's what Mike's about or not, just observin'.
