Looking for Kostecky Patriot plans. Don't Think they were ever published but seem to remember reading that a reverse engineered set might be available.
Regards,

Tom McLain (grzly23), or one of the guys in NVCL club, has the plane and has restored it. Hopefully the plans will get drawn soon.
You out there, Col. Tom?

The Patriot belongs to Dennis Piwowarski. I restored it for him and it is hanging on my hobby room wall. I have not had time yet to reverse engineer it and make some plans. But, it appears to be a cross between the Cutlass and Formula S. It is a taildragger with fuselage mounted main gear. I am including a picture.

GRW:

Contact Greg Zajack, 6821 Presidio Dr., Huntington Beach, CA 92648 (ph. 714-536-7260). He was a flying partner of Kostecky's; built a replica Patriot a few years back and may have plans available.

Myself, I would opt for the Formula-S plans. A better plane than the Patriot I believe. Of couse, plans for the F-S have been published in Flying Models I believe?
