Just in case anyone is tempted, I just took a look at the site Bobby mentioned and downloaded one of the files (claiming to be a manual for a Falco). It was a .rar file (a form of zip file) containing an executable - not a pdf or a drawing or a Word file.
I stopped there but my guess, particularly given the Russian reputation for dodgy websites, is that this is some sort of scam using ripped off materials (plans and manuals in this case) to (a) drop some sort of trojan onto unsuspecting PCs and (b) get a lot more than a few dollars from those gullible/stupid/immoral enough to actually make a purchase. Buyer beware doesn't go far enough in this case. Of course one could take the view that if you try and buy something from these theives you deserve whatever you get .... I'd be surprised if you actually do get a useable set of plans.
