Mr. Crooks remembers the pond at madera, but it wasnt him.
The one from Mr. Braun was a glass/foam short kit.. There was one of these kits for sale on RCGroups in 2008 by Fred Baldwin... No joy on contacting yet him.
So far it seems im either stuck with forking out a child for the Air-C-race one from germany, or designing and scratch building my own... I do have roughly 1/2 of the CAD work for a full size one done so far.
