Default Travelair 2000 Bipe Info

Anyone out there that can help with some info on a Travelair 2000 biplane? I acquired this bipe at the Perry Swap Meet this year. I was told it was a "Fleet Bipe", which it turns out it is not. Further research reveals it is a Travelair 2000. It is fully built bipe w/ fabric covering and nicely done. My problem is it came with no plans or info in regards to C.G. , Eng. size, thrust lines, and control throws. It may be a scratch built bipe in the fact I haven't been able find any info relating to size or scale of this size bipe. Upper W.S. = 80" + 4-1/2" for the balanced alerons, fuse is aprox. 60". Any info or a source to go to would be most appreciated. I could probably extrapolate some dimensions from a set of smaller scale plans. also. Thanks in advance............Mike
