The "Utopia" ?
 
Anybody have a copy of the plans for George Albright's "Utopia" .60-size pattern ship (Model Airplane News, March 1973) ? Had a set, once, but foolishly gave them away [:o] )
Has anyone tried building one of these from the plans?

I have them. But, the text is illegible. The outlines and parts patterns are good enough to scratch build from. PM me your email address.

Thanks for the help. Do you know a firm dimension on the drawing - i.e. the wingspan - so that I can scale the file to the correct size? I'm using a CAD tool (Microstation) that will let me scale a raster file to any size I want it to be.

The title box says 63 1/2" span which is what I scaled the plans to. The file I sent is full-size and should print out to the correct dimensions.

For anyone not familiar with the Utopia, this is it - from the cover of RCM January 1979.
