Default RE: wanting plans for a small spad c/l

I made a couple to try getting back into the inverted flying after a couple decades off. The TD .049 does fairly big manouvers, but the .15 sized one is ok, but not as tight loops as the real Yuvenko F2D it was traced from. I put a carbon fiber leading edge on the one Iused. Not the spar like the picture.There is also a Man Win trainer from the Balsa Beavers website that uses a Babe Bee. I doubt it stunts well. The .049 one has a wire going through the flute for stiffening. You can pick your own dimensions and experiment. I put in a pic of a 40 year old Spad Guillows kit I made as a kid.
