You should be able to buy the plans for the Mk.II and Mk. III from M.A.N. or from the AMA Plans Service.

The Kwik-Fli and Kwik-Fli Mk II were both RCM plans. MkIII was MAN.

I cut up a couple of kits on the three version, but had to do a more correct plan first.

Have the 1 and 2 from RCM plans with the 1 mostly cut out. Of course I got the Kraft radio to go in it to match my Ugly Stick/ Kraft.

I bought one of the Hobby Lobby Graupner Kwik-Fli Mk III's

http://www.hobby-lobby.com/kwikfly.htm

I haven't assembled it yet but it very well built.

I think Hobby Lobby can order the retracts as well.

I have a Graupner Kwick Fly ARF available from Hobby Lobby. It's a great airplane! Beautiful construction, fit & finish are excellent. When I first got it I thought it was smaller than the orginal however I have a full size set of plans from the TF kit I built in the 60's and guess what it's the real thing, just smaller than I remember. It flys great. I powered it with an OS 50 FX and it's perfect power for the airplane. Graupner did a nice job of reproducing this classic airplane. They even include plastic wheel wells if you want to install retracts however I built mine with fix'ed gear to stay true to the orginal.

Here's my Graupner Kwik-Fli, which was built about five years ago. My wife enlisted a good friend to build it for me for our anniversary.
It's been in the hangar due to my last OS GoldHead giving up the ghost.

I just recently had a friend machine a new radial mount to fit the OS 55AX and had her back in the air last weekend. She still flys great!

The 55AX is quite a bit more power than the Goldhead ever was. I'm running a 12-6 prop and this seems ideal.
