Quick question.

I turned mine into the Bellanca CF that the Smithsonian has.  I tried making the stab scale but it ended up to unstable so the second one is smaller than the Sr. tail but bigger than the scale.  I know a guy who has a real Robin.

here are some Robinhood pictures from other threads on RCU. The first two are of an 80 belonging to Ugo Ferrari



The next two 80's belong to W8ye

Here is a Comet Curtis Robin plan you can use to establish your outlines for the bash

No I only presented them as patterns for a bash of a Kadet Sr

The first one is a Robinhood 80 kit from Indy R/C that is no longer available

The second one is scratch built from scaled down Robinhood 99 plans that were from a World Engines kit that are no longer available

Here's another Robinhood 80 picture of unknown source but probably was on RCU at one time

Hey, I'm a member of GRFC! I have the Ikon N'WST Curtiss Robin kit. I could take photos of the plans or assist you in some way, maybe. TTYL P.S. My mother's mother was a Bickett from Raywick!
