Hi Bob

You can try Bob Whitney in Florida. He has built one so he should still have the plans.

Try him at this email addy  F2CRACER@aol.com

I don't think the original kit plans have enough detail to build from. Bill Schmidt supplies an enhanced set of plans that also show all the parts, so you can scratch build from them. His contact information is:

Bill Schmidt
4647 Kruger
Wichita, KS 67220
Pho # 316-744-0378 (corrected phone number)

There is also a company in Texas that sells a laser cut short kit for the Redskin:

I've ordered from them and their prices seem reasonable.

cheers,

  I have a set of Bill Schmidt's Redskin plans.  They are superb.

I also have a set of Bill's plans,  remember they are copy writed.  But, I also picked up a Redskin kit at Tulsa this year.  I also had one ready to go when B-Team race was dropped from the rule book.  Green Head Torp that was an easy starter.  DOC Holliday

Oops... edited post with correct number. I called it this time first to verify. BTW he charges $10 for the Redskin plans.

cheers,
Ken

Ken thanks a bunch. I just got off the phone with Bill and he is mailing the plans to me

[john e. holliday]

Unless he has changed it, on my plans it says I can not make any copies of them.  It also has a copy write stamp on them.   DOC Holliday

[Ken Deboy]

DOC, that's correct. My set states they can only be copied with written permission from Bill. They're really nice, well worth the small price that he charges.

cheers,
Ken

Hi Bob, did you get your plans yet? I just got a laser kit short kit. Looks like all the parts are there except sticks, sheeting, ad nose block. Now need to think about an engine for it.

cheers,
Ken

Hey Ken: Did you get the short kit from Action Hobbies ? If yes how was the quality of work and wood ?

[bob lindsay]

   
   Hi Ken got the plans Monday they are great as you said . I ordered the short kit
  yesterday and it will be sent out on Monday. I have waited a long time for this one.

I got the kit from Laser Works. Posted a short review inder Product Reviews. IMHO well worth the money.

Does anyone have a picture of the Redskin?  What is the wingspan and engine size?

[Ken Deboy]

Takes a .29, not sure about span and not at home to measure. Here is a pic of one of the nicest ones I've ever seen:
