If you email Dave Fritzke, he may perhaps have some more C/L plans available.
RCU have a C/L Forum too, try posting there for some plans.
An ideal C/L learner package, once you're past the crash and burn stage, is the SIG Akromaster kit with a .15 engine, cheap too. You will find that the larger models are smoother to fly and with the Akromaster you're building a model guaranteed to fly very well indeed.
There are many free C/L plans on the net, you've just got to find 'em.......John
