Andy, Flying Models has a plan for a .40 size Model D, with details to convert it to an X on the plans. It's an early Henry Haffke design. They don't have a search function on the website, but if you e mail them they'll look it up and quote you a price.

Here is a site with with a lot of info on all the sportsters: http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaver...15/index3.html
Also Spirit of Yesteryear kits a Model D & Model E. About 56" wing span I beleive. The "D" kit has details on the plans for a "C" & "X" model as well. They are Henry Haffke designs.
I have the Model D with an OS .46, very good flyer. Here's some pics of mine:

On Ebay, there has almost constantly been a gentleman selling plans for a Gee Bee Y. His name is Uncle Wille, and the plans I have bought from him have been very good quality.
