Also discontinued, they now make this drill with a composite body but the reviews are terrible so I cannot recomend it. I am searching for a comparable replacement.

Thanks James, my pleasure.
No chance of me thinking of building anything like this but I do enjoy your presentation. Totally agree with regard to plans, if someone has invested the time in designing something they deserve to be recognised and compensated. Two hundred dollars must be hardly significant in the total cost of construction.

Thank you, service from the company is terrible on parts but in my experience they do deliver their plans of which there are 2 different planes but I think some use the lack of service to try and get (or distribute) bootleg copies of the plans.
So how "midget" are we talking about? Is this an R/C model?

No, full size single seat, about 180 to 230 miles per hour plane. Old design originally built as an economical racer on about a hundred horsepower.
