I wish MAN had copies of the original A6 Intruder Plans. I have prints and computer files thanks to RCU members. Studying the drawings, Jim Kirkland left out very little details. His plans show more detail than the present arf "builders" can grasp. He outlined the hinge locations, push rods, cutouts in the ribs for servos, retracts .... which are missed in most plans. Build up the wing, glass it, than carve out for the servo. What a pain in the arse that can be.
30+ years later his planes live on.

Beachcomber a complicated build? Hah! It's more like putting a jigsaw puzzle together! Jim never used one piece of balsa where two would do! He was a craftsman and his airplanes were a work of art. Everything was built in saddle jigs and shot with a surveyer's level for absolute accuracy. Any change in the plans to make building for us mortals would be appreciated.
