An update if anyone is following the post:

I have a .PDF top, front and side view for the Quicksilver Sport. I believe they call it a Spirit 2S. It's very similar to the MX Spirit (as near as I can tell) but with a 2ft longer wingspan and a fully enclosed wing (the wing is sheeted with fabric on the bottom). Other than that I think the motor is bigger, a wider cockpit for two people. Maybe some other small differences.

However, I've started laying the model out in CAD, then I'll translate it to 3D once I work out the details. That'll give me a cutlist and I can print the pieces off and bend to the print.

I've d/l quite a few pictures of each plane for comparison. The model I plan to copy is white. I'm also working out some ideas in my head for a coushy pilot seat if I don't find a suitable one for sale by the time I built it.

I also plan on stopping by Hobby Lobby to get some aluminum rod and see if I can solder the stuff. I expect to use 1/8" and 1/4" aluminum rod at the moment.

If anyone has any info/advise they'd like to pass on about the Quicksilver Spirit MX or the project in general, by all means, lay it on me.
