Default Foka

In the early 1970s Graupner sold a Foka sailplane. I would like to talk to anyone who owns one. I need some measurements.

Mirek,
If you have the drawings, would you be willing to sell them? If not, I am looking for width (chord) of the wing at the root and at the tip. Also what is the thickness at the root and at the tip. Would you know what airfoil was used on the model? What is the wing span?
Thank you.

I bought one around 1998 from Graupner through local hobby shop. SZD Foka 4 with glass fusellage. It is discontinued now and I don't know if anyone makes it now I'm "afraid" to finish it and fly. I hate to do this but I will probably convert it to electric.
What a shame that they stopped selling those, it is a beautifull plane. Foka 5 would be even nicer. I remember an article about that set in one of the mags. I will try to find it. mrcnp
