: My question, what do I get extra in the plans that I don't get in the book?
: Are the plans full size (just need to trace), or more detailed?

John,

Just received my Chessy LT17 kit today, wicked exciting! Anyway, the plans are full size. They are 24 x 36 They give full size outlines of the coamings, bulkheads and the seats. You can trace these three directly from the plans as far as I can tell. They are much more legible and the LT17 contains 5 sheets, and they come with a kit...did I mention I just got mine? Kid in a candy store now baby!
Sorry so much exuberance and I don't even know you.
