Hi guys.
I spend most of my time in the heli section but I love to fly power planes and thermal's as well.. It was actually thermal and slope ships that got me into rc planes years ago and I have been hooked ever since...
I was at my local hobby shop the other day and the guys there gave me an OLY II kit that was given to them.
I took the box home and was really excited when I opened it to find it's all there and in great shape. The box looks a little tattered from being in a storage unit for years but the stuff inside the box is like new, even all the hardware and small parts are still sealed in their little plastice baggies.
I am itching to build it and fly her, but there are no build plans in the box. I have the instruction manual but that's it.
Does anyone have a set of plans that they would sell me or copy for me so I can build my new plane??
I have tried to contact Skybench but they have yet to return my calls or e-mails.

Ray might be out of town on vacation right now.
Seems to me he usualy is gone about this time each year.

Ed ( fellow glider guider)( I live just across town from him) and Rays mentor-he learned everything he knows about BOT's from me!!! LOL!!!!
Hee hee hee, just wait until he reads this!!!! :D :D :D

Hey Ray, you give me a FREE BOT kit and I'll quit telling everyone the truth!!!
ROTFLMBO!!!! :D :D :D

Doesn't the RCM site sell Oly 2 plans? Or have they become defunct like the original magazine?

The plan's are still available from RCM, go on the ISR site and then to there link's to find the RCM web site. Dave.

Thanks for everyones help, I got a set e-mailed to me and printed up today at kinko's..
Now I just have to put the finishing touches on my Ultimate 40 and I will have a clean bench to start the build.
I am reading all the post's on this glider and can't believe the wealth of information on this forum for the OLY II. It's going to be alot of fun to build and fly.

Thanks again for the replies, this is such a great forum for help.

crashagain, If you'd like I can send you a copy of an article written by Dave Garwood a couple year's ago about the Oly 2 that appeared in Flying Model's Magazine. Dave.

I wouldn't mind seeing a copy of that article. Can you scan it to PDF?

crashagain... there are a lot of suggested mods when you build that thing.
