I'm not 100% sure, but I thought PAMPA Plans Service had them. Could be wrong, and per the wife, I often am.  mw~ Steve

PS: I've read good things about the Agile Arrow, so I hope you get 'er done.

  O believe Jim Thomerson published that in Model Aviation magazine. Do a search on it in their plans website. I think I have a kit of it that RSM cut so that may be an option also. It may not be on their current kit listing but they should still have files.

Dan, you have 2 Agile Arrow kits cut by Wally Umland. I know because I sent them to you.

Dan,
I would also like a set of plans for Agile Arrow, Jim let me fly his at a Sig C/L contest years ago and it flew quite well.  Easy to fly and handled great.  After Jim’s passing I wanted get a set of his original plans but I missed out on them.  I knew Jim for many years and often chat and talked at contests in the Midwest, Great Guy and a gentleman.

Dan,
I would also be interested in a kit if I can’t find a set of plans to purchase, either or is fine with me.  How are you and the family doing lately, great I hope and it would be fun to get together some time.

Let me know what you have and I’ll send you the funds.

Later,
Mikey Pratt

   Hi Mike and Guy;
      I need to find the plans and get copies/scans made of it. I could have sworn that Jim had that published in Model Aviation, but in a lot of searching on the AMA goofy web site I can not come up with them, so I must have bee mistaken. That would have been easiest all around. I got the kits that Bill had, and squirreled those away but I think I pulled at least one plan out. getting up into the atiic where I think the kits are is still abit of chore because I need to crawl a bit and the knew knee isn't taking too kindly to that just yet!! Climbing the ladder is doable, it's when I get there that's the problem. I need to move some stuff to get into my plan files and check in there. I have a tall stack of 38" by 48" that is semi organized and I will put that on tomorrow's agenda. I think Eric Rule did the kits, and maybe the guy that took over RSM might still have the plan and cut files? I'm going to search out the forums here and see what comes up. Stay tuned for further developments.  I'll keep you posted.

   PS to add;  Just reread Bills post and he says Walter Umland and I don't think Walter is doing anything any longer.
