Default Help - Top Flite Headmaster kit

Hi all -

Sorting through modelling items left by my brother, I found most of a Headmaster kit, reboxed w/o plans.

Comparing it to Ken Willard's original plans from Sept '67 RCM, I think it's missing only one formed wingtip and a balsa dihedral brace (both easily replaced), but I think TF made some changes when kitted, so I have a couple questions:

Did the kit have formed leading edges or were they shaped from included balsa sticks?
Does anyone have plans you'd sell or copy?

Any info appreciated.

Thanks Ken, Gene -

That'll take a while to work into my budget - the whole kit was only ~$20 when new!
Just shows my age I guess...... :-)

Had a headmaster 40 with a k&b 61 on it. It was great, flew like it was on a rail.

Tnx Glenn -
It's on the back burner now - got wrapped up in some control lines.
