I am on a quest to see if I can locate either a set of plans or

Does anyone have any experience with this receiver? It looks too good to be

good/bad is much appreciated.

There has been a lot of discussion on this reflector about how and
where one should attach carbon onto spars to make them effective.

Also keep in mind that most often, many builders would often re-engineer some of the
kits back then in order to introduce some structural improvement. Were these planes
banned from flying back then? Obviously not. Case in point. Many guys modfied the
