Was wondering if Joe Wagner is still around and if plans for the Wagner/Veco Chief can be ordered from him.

I have nothing to add about Joe unfortunately, but I was able to download a free set of plans for Joe's version of the Squaw off Outerzone.  I did not see his Chief plans there.  I think the later Veco plan sheet was loaded and a more recent CAD version as well.  It may be worth a check to see if that CAD version is a copy of Joe's plans or not although I doubt that it is.
