Nick,

I have been offered to visit the owner and measure Bumling. The owner has also offered me that he willtake whatever high resolution photos of the planeI need (I know that will be good quality since one of his interests is photography). I have access to all Autodesk softwares including AutoCAD etc. I will probably make a foam fuselage and cover it with glass fibre and epoxy, then make a mould I can use to get the actual fuselage halves and glue/glass them together. Wing and stab will be foam covered with balsa.
Thanks for the suggestion about the student thing.
