Hi fellow colleagues,

After the fantastic build (as always) of Mayhugh1, I´ve been lately actively looking to buy a copy of the Ron´s Colonna Offy plans, but it seems they´re not available anywhere on the internet.

I know this topic has been discussed a number of times in the past on this forum, but I´m still not able to find any solution.

Can anyone enlighten me? May be someone can sell me a copy?

Thank you very much.
 
According to this advertisement, there was an addendum to the plans, to improve the engine.

I read top down these two posts, but still no clue on where to buy today a copy. Ron Colonna stopped selling copies some time ago.

Yes they are still his copyrighted property whether he sells copies or not. I have seen his book being sold on ebay a few times. Maybe keep your eyes peeled for a copy there. I think he will be at the show in Indiana next month. If your in the area you can go right to the source and ask as many questions as you want.

Thank you Steve!

There's nothing I want more than being in the Indiana show, but living in Spain makes it a little bit difficult. I've send a MP to Mr Colonna, hoping he's able to help this modest builder.

It looked to me like you were trying to rip-off an old man who is also a fellow forum member so I gave you a swift kick in the ass. If that hurt your feelings, well that was the intent as I refuse to believe that anyone can be that ignorant of copyright laws nowadays and you are certainly not a 12 year old.

you just took a guess (that's Ignorance) --- you need help
 
Lets keep it civil folks.
Take up your personal discussions via personal messages, email, or somewhere else beside the open forum.
Lets stick to model engine building.
Life is too short for this sort of thing; drop it, move on, and focus on building engines, or discussing how to build engines.
Thanks very much

Just for information sake. I wrote a pm to mr. Colonna few days ago, and still waiting for response. I think, I´ll go through the ebay catch via.
