Default 1/3 GP Pitts wings

Looking for a set of GP Pitts wings or full scale plans.

1/3 GP Pitts Special. I acquired a 1/3 scale GP Pitts Special complete with servos/radio/engine but no wings. I have all of the wings hardware. Using the fuse I have the wing profile but would like the wing chord and thickness. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Don

OK<

1/3 scale is 1/3 scale. Old Byron models? Christen Eagles? Has to be options around?

The Pitts is a real nice airplane to model.

Just a follow up, I am sort of looking forward to constructing the wings, if they were readily available I would buy them. Again, thanks for the help.

I'd start a new Thread asking for full size plans or a set of used wings.

Shipping? Not an issue.

They can easily be cut in half and reassembled. Sure beats building them from scratch. I hate making wings.

Run that Thread, you might get lucky.
