Does someone out there in modeldom know where I can find plans or a surviving kit for a Veco Dakota free flight biplane from the fifties?

Cute little all sheet balsa bipe for an .020 engine.

I have some skinny servos and receiver/battery pack that would fit it real well.
I flew one of these free flight back in the fifties and had a ball with it.
My wife even said she liked it. (Of course we were newlyweds at the time.)
I believe I used a Spitzy .020 and with a more powerful Cox Pee Wee it should haul the extra weight of the radio stuff.:wave:
any help appreciated.

Have'nt flown Westwind yet.
Work, weather, lack of a photographer.
I wanted to have photos of the maiden flight but I'm tired of waiting and the next good flying day it flies!!!

Tandy,
I have a PDF file of the Dakota plan you were looking for. I can't post it here because the forum will not allow PDF uploads.
I would be more than happy to send it to you thru email.
