Default Looking for giant scale Cosmic Wind

I'm searching for a giant scale Cosmic Wind, kit or plans, 40% size or so. Anyone know of anything available? I know there's a 2 or 3 meter version, perhaps made in Germany, but I cannot find the company or website.

Thanks!

G.W. You might want to be more specific. These airplanes are often misidentified. There were 4 airplanes in the Cosmic Wind family. The 3 low wing airplanes, which were almost identical, were The Minnow, the Toni, and the Ballerina. There was a fourth shoulder wing version called the Miss Cosmic Wind. That airplane originally had the same tapered wing as the 3 sister ships. Later the wing was changed out for a square wing.

Thanks for the reply. I'm interested in the low wing airplanes.

Then when you do your searches look for the Minnow, the Toni, and the Ballerina. Bridi had a 60 size 1/4 scale Toni 40 years ago. My memory is vague about anything past yesterday, but I think there was a company called Ohio RC Sales that had a Midget Mustang, and may have had a Toni?

I don’t think that is available anymore. Plus, they’re a bit smaller than I’m wanting. I came across a 42% fiberglass fuselage and foam cores, of unknown origin.

Paul Steiner makes a 42% Cosmic Wind and a 1/3 scale Cosmic Wind, great flying airplane. He lives in Santa Clara California. I have the 1/3 scale now and have raced the 42% at the Giant Scale races many years ago
