Do you have a complete set of Champ plans? A friend gave me a kit, complete less the plans. What might it cost me to get a copy?

RE: Curare help

3" under one tipe is correct. I've built about a dozen Curares for SPA use. Early ones had reduced dihedral and strange coupling. When I finally quit messing around and used 3", all the mix issues...

RE: How about a Giant Chaos in SPA Novice Class?
