Donivan,...

Wow,... you've chosen two of my favorite pattern planes!! I've had an interest in the Desire and Gitano 60 for quite some time. I've collected the parts and information on the Desire but unfortunately I never got around to building it.

I've got two sets of foam cores for the Desire (wing and stab). I'm not doing anything with these and wouldn't mind getting them out of my shop. If I recall I spent a hundred bucks on both sets so if you're interested make me an offer and they're yours.

The top of the Desire is a fiberglass shell from nose to tail. I've got a the name of a guy who used to lay up the fiberglass top for the Desire however I'm not sure if he's still doing that or not. Also there is a local (New Jersey) guy who built a couple Desires for hire he could give you more information as well.

As far as kit cutting,... if I were to cut the parts for one of these it wouldn't be anything more than just scratch building. Cutting one-off pieces as if I were building it myself.

Let me know if you are interested in any of this information.
