Yes, what difficulties are you having. Please remember that the model was designed when "good" instructions consisted of a printed sheet that mostly said things like:

1: Pin spars to plan
2: Glue ribs to spars where the plans show you
3: Add top sheeting. Pay attention to sizing per the plans.
4: Remove wing from building board and add bottom sheeting
5: Glue doublers to fuselage sides. Make sure you make a left and right side.
6: Install fuselage formers in locations shown on plans. Make sure the fuselage is straight.
7: Install top and bottom sheeting.
8: Construct stabilizer, elevators, fin and rudder according to the plans. Cut the parts from the stock provided.
9: Cover with covering of your choice.
10: Install receiver, battery, and servos as shown on the plans.
11: Add weight where needed to balance at the point shown
12: Go fly and enjoy!

The plans back in the day were such that you could build from them with little need for step-by-step instructions. Since the BOT was considered an advanced design, it was assumed by all that you knew what you were doing when it came time to build one.
