Or try this post and download the attached.

Not the best quality but nonetheless they can be printed on fresh paper.

When airage store shipped me plans of the .40 Gator Flea, I also received the fuselage plans for the Compensator. But not the wing plans. So someone provided me with the wing plans from the southern rc model kit.BTY a compensator might go on ebay shortly. The person who bought it for $100.00 on rcgroups usually resells on ebay. I would love to get the full RC Southern kit for $100.00. What a bargin.

Os 61. I put a os 61 rear exhaust pipe through the upper part of the fuselage and fitted a 1/8 inch plywood deck inside and out the top of the fuselage 16 oz tank would get me through the flight and had power for that hateful figure m with half rolls lol

I might just add that the rear exhaust Compensator layout is essentially a Bootlegger. Same wing, stab (mostly) and the fuse is only very slightly different.

If an OS VF is to be used, there already is a Bootlegger short kit being made by Scott (RCFoamy). Just thought it might save you some time and support the classic cottage industry.
