Check out Barry Baxter's control line plan service.  He has the plans listed at $13.00 plus postage.  I've gotten a few sets of plans from him and very quick delivery.

Here's a copy from a kit I recently acquired...
The ribs in the kit were poorly cut and don't match the dimensions on the plans, so you'd be on your own to draw up some ribs.
Good luck!

Nope - tin, not balsa. But the isometric sketch does appear to show a grain which is a bit misleading.

Did anybody notice that the eBay listing called it an "RC" airplane?   LL~   LL~   LL~
