<span style="font-size: larger;">Well mixerfix, there are no commercially available plans available that I heard of - any where. That's another reason I'd like to contact Mr. Russ.
My plans could be copied, although a couple small peices fell off which have no real significance. One thing I don't have is the instruction manual, but as I mentioned, there's a thread on RCGroups where a gentleman has the whole kit in a box (undoubtedly built by now). I still remember how to build from memory, cause I built so many. Maybe if you're serious you could contact the other party for a copy. I could do a build thread, but I doubt there's enough colective interest for this project.

If you have read the few comments posted about this plane, you should see one where a professional trainer flew one built by a student and said a lot of good things. I remember the guy who taught me to fly was shocked when I brought this plane out for him to maiden. I never told him I bought the kit over a decade ago (back then there were only a handful of ARF's).

The fiist plane on it's first flight was spectacular. He told me it was the most solid flying AC he'd ever flown, and hogged flying time a lot. What neither of us took into account was the fact it was a pattern plane. I was a newbe and crashed it after 5 flights. To me, it was the fastest thing I ever flew. I built another quickly, and it lasted longer but radio problems ended it.

This plane is very COMPACT and standard radio gear has to be shoe horned in the fuse.</span><span style="font-size: larger;"> It has a close resemblance to a reno mustang, even with trike gear.

When I finish building this one, I will have a better idea to compare flying characteristics to. I'm also going to try and post a couple pics.
