I have a "new" Komander kit under the Christmas tree. Wife found it on ebay. They are getting rare!
It was my first RC model in 1984. I flew it for 10 years. Lost it to a power line. I still have the book and the one sheet of plans (and now a new kit). From what I remember you need the printed balsa to cut and place on the plan sheet to build the fuse. The book has full size prints of bulkheads, tail section, etc.

I think I will try and scan the printed side of the balsa and tape a set of "plans" together. Then go have those reprinted. I think if I can cut out the reprinted paper copies and transfer to blank balsa sheets I will be able to save the original balsa kit. The potential here is to be able to make cloned copies of the balsa on paper in order to reproduce the fuse.

For the wing I will measure out the cores, making templates for the ends at the correct orientation (built in warp) and wire cut a new set. Again, as many as needed.

Fiberglass Specialties makes the cowl. I'm working on the canopy (any ideas?).
