What's worse is that in the fine print, he charges a flat $4.95 to ship the CD. What a sheisty piece of trash.

Don't you hate it when guys can't come up with their own original material? :x

I was going to do up a set of plans for the long weekender for ebay, but I got so busy... that never happened. But at least it's original!!!

I only briefly browsed the auction. While I can appreciate the frustration - I think the CD serves a purpose. Looks to be a bunch of stuff which could be gotten from various www sites and such - but it's collected all in one place. For someone who doesn't know where to look - it's a real time saver.

He was kicked off teardroptimes a couple of years ago. His home base is in Arizona.

Have a good day,
Gage

I wonder if Roly knows? :thinking:

Don Ferdinand sells a two-CD set that includes his own Call of the Wild teardrop plans plus most of the old original plans but without all the pirated stuff. He gives you a lead to purchase the Wild Goose plans but doesn't include them since they are still under copyright by Popular Mechanics, despite which there are a few unscrupulous individuals out there that have offered them for sale on their own CDs. Contact Don at [email protected].

Yeah but it good to look at when you really get stuck. My wife and the people at work know that there is a problem when I am looking at the manuals.

that sure looks like Roly's Half-Nelson Woody.

thing is there is another guy out there who build a replica of Roly's tear, but in a different size, and this might be that one. I remember seeing the pictures of them "virtually side by side" in a photo collection somebody had ... but I don't have the link since the other site went away.

It is Roly's Half Nelson. He even confirmed it through a mutual friend I was talking to the other day

The guy is an Arizona? He has shamed our great state! I say we ship the guy off to Idaho!
