Default Windecker Eagle

Hello all,

First post in this forum so please be kind. I fly mostly sport, fun fly, and dabble in classic pattern. I have built only a handful of scale models in the past 30 years of aeromodeling.

Here's the question: A recent Aero-news.net article stated that they are bringing back (into production) the Windecker Eagle. A few google searches reveals that this was the first composite aircraft certified by the FAA, and holder of several speed records for general aviation. It was viewed as competition for the venerable Beech Bonanza. Also revealed is that there was a Flying Models construction article in Feb. 1976 (I believe). From the few pictures I have seen, the aircraft is beautiful and would make a great scale project.

Does anyone have access to downloadable plans? I can import DXF and other CAD formats and go from there.

Anyone have the construction article?

I would be willing to turn this into a construction thread if there is interest.

Thanks in advance.
