RE: Building from plans??
Plans for the Gentle Lady are available from RCM.
I think scratchbuilding that one may be easier than from the kit- a couple years ago my teenage son built one, his first ever airplane. The parts fit and wood quality was atrocious. I really don't think he could have finished framing it up without my help. And it was one of the laser cut ones too. Maybe they're better now but I doubt it.
A shame too, because it's a great design.
Cheers,
Dave
