    There were plans for on about a year ago in the AMA magazine. (I
    always forget the name of the magazine.)

	Sorry....I should add that I'm in the UK,so It's a bit 
	difficult to check back issues of American magazines.I
	need somewhere to send to for plans,or a plans catalog
	etc...A couple of the Gee Bees are available here,the
	Sporster,and another one can't remember which model (Hmmm
	might be the E) but not the 'Coke Bottle' ones....

389.3Try Old MODEL AVIATION Issues...BPOV09::ERICKSONThu Jan 22 1987 12:029
    Plans for one of the particular Gee Bee styles appeared SEVERAL
    years ago in MODEL AVIATION, the AMA magazine. I'm pretty certain
    it was in the fall of 1979 or the spring of 1980. The article
    also contains excellent historical information, like the fact that
    the planes weren't REALLY that hard to fly; they only looked strange.
    
    Maybe someone out there can check their stock of back-issues and
    zip a copy off to our friend in the UK.

    3. Cleveland Model and Supply Co.
    10307 Detroit Avenue
    Cleveland OHIO 44102   USA
      has a very comprehensive and interesting calalogue but there doesn't
    seem to be a GEE BEE of a suitable size (and there isn't a decent
    index).
    
    I have had good service from the USA to Australia from 1 and 3
    
    Good luck.
