There might not be a build manual. The MK kits just had a plan no build manual.
These kits were usually put together by experienced builders. Here's a very low resolution scan
it's the only info I have been able to find. I did the best I could to clean it up. With it you might be able to glean all the info you need to build it.
Maybe someone else will chime in with a better scan of the plan or even a build manual.

Yeah, back in the height of Classic Pattern. Usually for about $79 you got a brown box with some wire cut foam cores, a molded fuselage, a piece of plywood cut roughly to the shape of a firewall and a small rolled up piece of paper depicting a plan with some measurements on it. Ah, those were the days.

hahaha I was 2 year old when that photo was taken! I bet this plane is as old as me.... glad to see it still looks perfect.
So I thought the guy said it was a OS61 rear exhaust but after i took the plane apart I found that its a OPS super 60!

No mustache, but I did have a McGyver muttlet
I like the comment about building. I just started flying pattern with an ARF and can already feel the need to build my own plane, a plane that I can tweak certain areas to fit my flying style and performance needs. Your are right, flyers knew how to build planes in order to get the most performance from them and why designs continued to radically evolve. Its a part of the hobby I hope we never lose.
