RCM plans catolog. Cowl and canopy available from fiberglass specialties.
I have the plans and would change quite a bit of things. However, I have heard from guys here on RCU that the plans worked great for them.
I have a Berkeley kit. So I haven't actually built from those plans.

Default Plans

The Berkeley kit is a bit full of wood. Quite sturdy and heavy and you need to adapt several items to new technology.

A similar question was raised in the Scale A/C forum about one month ago, and seems by concent, the best of the Navion plans and models was a 2 inch scale model that was prepared by Walt Musciano. I would suggest you pop over to that forum, as was lengthy and illustrated. Addresses and comments there too.
