Default RE: Doss Steed P-51D

Life just keeps bringing change....sigh... I have been away from r/c for a half dozen years or so and I am so stunned at the changes in the landscape....Greats like Doss Steed, no longer with us, everyone buying ARFs(Gag!), RCM magazine and others just GONE...!!!! dang.... Well I'm back and hope to make the best of an r/c world where everyone wants "ready made" I have been following the fate of whats available and I was/am hoping to get Doss' plans to build his P-51. Can you tell me more about what items may be out there? Retracts, scoops so on? Also are you able to confirm for me that the Doss Steed P-51 design has a 92" wing-span. I thought it was larger, yet Bob H. says the plans he has are 92"

Thanks in advance....Carl

it is with great sadness i have to report that my best friend Doss Steed has passed away in november 2006
his p-51 will not die with him.
his plans are still available from Bob Holman plans.
a fiberglass fuse with all the molded in details /panel lines/screws/access covers/ will be available in the near future.
as soon as i get more to report i will post here.
thanks to all the well wishers that have contacted me
the modeling world will greatly miss this extremely talented modeler.
