ebay, $20 or best offer, I just paid the twenty bucks thinking there was enough balsa and hardware there to make the purchase worthwhile.

Reading the plan, it seems like the vacuum formed parts were available from the designer for an extra $20. Might have been where the seller got his asking price from.

I could use the plans and cut out the missing parts, way to much work for me. Probably................

Very Bigley Eric, very bigley........ Smile

But, you all give me way too much credit for dealing with this stuff anymore.

Heck, I'm having trouble thinking out Robert's Gee Bee. However I did get the first coat of sanding sealer on the wing/elevator/
H stab assy.

Cutting out all those ribs and formers for the big GB might be a challange I'm not up to. I think even the PO just gave up, or died trying. He checked off all the functions on the first page of instructions then quit.
