Plans are available from Top Flite for $11.45. I chopped mine all up to fit on my building board. You can download the manual (Adobe) off the same site. All of the formers and bulkheads are shown on the plans, but it would be a job to duplicate the multi-piece interlocking doublers. All of the internal frames and servo rails slot into cut-outs in these doublers.

The wood quality in my kit is excellent. If I were to build a second I would buy a second kit rather than assemble the components. The hardware is mostly Great Planes and Du-Bro. I've only swapped out four self-tapping screws for the nose gear for four blind-nuts and bolts.

They've had 30 years to work the bugs out of this kit. It's pretty complete. Hope it flies as nice as it builds.
