Default Need Gee Bee Islander plans

I picked up an old Gee Bee Islander kit at a swap. I was told that it was complete. Nope. It is missing one of the two plan sheets.
I have sheet 2 of 2, which is the wing. I need the sheet with the fuselage.
I'll gladly cover the cost of copies and shipping. Even a full size scan that is emailed would be great.
Hoping someone can help.

I replied from my phone a half an hour ago, but it's not here yet so I'm replying again.
Still no plans. Hoping you can help.
The only response I got was from Scale Only. The reason he responded is that we know each other and he was messing with me.
I do need the fuselage sheet. I set the plane aside for now. I have the wing plan but wasn't going to start that if I didn't have the fuse plan. It's an odd bird, no clue how that fuselage went together. Built a small Stick kit with no plans, but that is pretty standard. This thing is not.

They really are an odd duck I had one from a swap meet too, mounted the motor, then got rid of it. Too big, did not store like a normal plane, and I just did not believe it would fly well. The wing and tail were attached, and the fuselage was separate, I wish you well though.

wow what a blast from the past!! i built one back in the early 80's. I want to say i added about 5 degrees more upthrust to the motor on it. my dad may still have it out in his shop somewhere. i will look and see. it helped it get off the water and fly generally better as i recall.
