Hello 'R' good to hear that there is still plenty of interest in the Parnall Elf design,my own model is now an hangar queen with flat tyres but she has given me many happy flights with an OS.91,the plans I used were done by Chris Hughes a friend of mine who goes under the name of Modelplan,he is based in Coventry,UK.
My own model was the protype built for Modelplan to test the design build,I also flew her at Old Warden Scale days before they introduced those silly B-Certificate regulations in the name of safety,and they would not let me fly her,my theory is if you can take off or land in a few designated feet then that is what makes a pilot.
I am not interested in throwing a model all over the sky,safe steady scale flight is more important to me.
Best of luck with your own build,you must be keen to travel all of that way to get scale fidelity !
