Hello, I'm from Germany. A couple of months ago we have organized a new rc model racing class for vintage stock outboard racers of the 1950s (152VO class = scale 1:5,2 "vintage outboards"). Currently we're building about 20 different models of stock outboard racers and cottage racers. I'm building the "Atomite", a 50s cottage racer designed by William D. Jackson, which was published in Boat Builder's Handbook. At the moment I'm ready for fiber glassing and varnishing the hull:

As a next model I'd like to build a more "competitive" racer. Now I'm looking for plans of Hal Kelly's "Foo Ling", "Airborne" and "Jupiter" as well as Bob Switzer's "Baby Bullet". Can anybody provide me with information / plans about these boats? I'm also interested in other plans of A-class / B-class racers of the 50s (e.g. Sid Craft, Willis, Speedliner).
Thank you for your help!
