Hello Graham,

So far, all I know of are the available plans from Model Airplane News plan service......

http://www.modelairplanenews.com/plan/fsp0101b.asp

If I find out about a kit, I'll get back with you,

Scott

ps-I know a fellow from New Zealand who is an active member of SAM 1928.

Keep us updated. The Airfoiler is a great looking design.

If you get the MAN plans, do not cut the wing ribs as drawn. A spar is mislocated by an inch. I had to cut two sets of ribs for this one.

Be careful with wing incidence on the pylon. Mine tended to porpoise until I jacked up the TE. Also, vintage spark engines had a gas tank behind them and were much heavier than today's glo engines. Move the firewall forward about an inch.
