      Can anyone lead me to the MAP plans for DC's record breaking boat, Bluebird please? Is it still on the Xplans listing?

          Rick,

          I think it's this one: http://www.myhobbystore.co.uk/product/19153/mm1462-bluebird-k7 but it seems to be listed in the wrong section. I suggest you either Email or ring MHS to confirm.

            that's just broken my "dream" so to speak.

            I was only talking to a mate today about Bluebird……….her restoration is almost complete, and the Cumbrian Council, and Water authorities have given the crew that have restored her, a licence to run Bluebird up on Coniston this year, 2012 to a maximum of 100mph…….don't know when yet, but hopefully later this spring or summer……now that is where I'LL BE rather than watching some prima donna's racing around an oval in London, lol

            If I hear anything as to a date……I'll post it.

            neil.

              Thankyou for your reply Colin,

              Since I put out the enquiry I have delved into my plans store and found a copy of the Plans Handbook No2 from 1994/5. This list a Bluebird plan No. MM395 but it is only a small version for Jetex power! I am sure there has been a plan for a larger version published in MB over the years, but I could be mistaken.

              Anyone able to help?

                Rick,

                As per my previous post, the plan is MM1462 which is incorrectly listed on the MHS website. The plan and article were first published in the July 1994 issue of Model Boats so if you order from the link i have given above, (or by phone), you should get the correct plan!

                The article by Andrew mcCoy only included the plan, some background information on Bluebird K7 plus some drawings of modifications to the boat. There was no associated model build.

                Overall model length is 34.75 nches.

                Colin

                  Thank you for going to the trouble of sorting this info out Colin.

                  Rick.
