I got one back in '99 or so from a guy that was mentoring me at the time, and I still have it, though it has not flown in years. I flew it in intermediate around that time, then dropped out.

To get it in the air would involve some pretty major restoration due to a couple of belly landings from dead sticks, and some ''moving rash''. I'll try to get some pictures of it tonight. I down loaded the plans and will attempt to trace them in CAD.
Dave,

that's cool. Why did I never have a mentor...!? I guess roughin' it has it's (ever present) learning curve benefits.

What are you're thoughts regarding passing the plans to CAD? They definitely could stand a better quality presentation. My plans are barely readable. What isn't shown on the plans are the wing root and tip airfoils (I guess they could be extrapolated from the fuse side view). With new cores and an internally designed fuse, one could build one from wood! Is that what you're thinking?

BTW, there should be plenty of CAD work in the near future if you're still interested (small MK models...)

David.
