Default Excalibur pattern plane?

I just started flying an Excalibur 2-meter pattern plane, a couple-o-weeks ago. I purchased it used (very), as it had a long list of previous owners, including Dean Wilson, and it was built by Dave Guerrin.

Other than that, I know very little about it's design, or who produced it, or any history, etc. I'd love to know more, if anyone has any tidbits of information, or old copies of plans, instructions, etc.

Last weekend I flew it in sportsman class for the first time. I didn't do too well, but had an incredibly good time flying it. I've got an old YS1.20FZ on the nose, and the pair are perfectly matched. It's fast, tight, and gracefull in manuvers, but slows down like a glider for landings. I'm in love.


Thx,
