Your article in the mag inspired me to look closer at the Elf II, (straight wings) and I have been working on a CAD plan for a 70" with an RCV 91. I didn't find any plans anywhere except for a 3 view of th Elf 1, some what different to the Elf II and looking as if it was a 5th down the line copy. I visited Shuttleworth last year and was kindly allowed to get a load of photos when it happened to be in the workshops. I am hoping to visit Shuttleworth in the next month or so which is a bit of a journey ( I live in Cyprus). I have to thank you for some of your ideas which have been very useful, the wing locking mechanism for one. I am currently at a 90% finished stage with the plan and am getting pretty good with CAD drawing and have collected quite a few bits and produced the parts for both wings and hinge and lock mechanisms.
In the mag You didn't mention wingspan or engine size but I have now found this site which would have made my life a lot easier if I had found it a year ago but I am retired so have a bit of time available. The local club here is pretty good (safety is a bit dubious though). I will post some pics when I get to that state. All the best
