As a winter project, I'm planning on building a 1/4 Whitman Tailwind. I'm running into dead ends finding plans for it. I've searched through the plans links here on RCU without any luck. If anyone has or knows where to get plans or even just a three-view with dimensions I'd appreciate the help.

I did a search of the web and came up with a listing [link]http://www.geocities.com/dmlivesay/modelbuilder.html#RC%20SPORT[/link]
This listing shows a 3-view of the whitman Tailwind that can be found in a magazine called Model Builder year 1975, Vol 5-37, Page 32. I have not found any plans yet, but I will keep looking. Try this link that actually goes mback to a thread here at RCU it is to a plan service that is supposed to have all the plans from Model Builder.[link]http://utopia.rcuniverse.com/rcarchive/38/2003/06/3/33228[/link]

Thanks for the tip. Now, if I can find someone with a 30yr collection of mags, I'll be set.
I wonder if there is an archive online for that mag.

with a bit of luck, this link will work.

"This product will be in stock on Sunday 03 April, 2011."

That's great, but I would rather not wait 7 yrs for the plans. I was hoping to get something a little cheaper - like free. I know I guy that has a full-scale Tailwind. I guess I can just go take some pictures and build from there.
