If I recall correctly, Midway Models kitted the Gnome series in 60" handlaunch, 2m and 3m. From what I know the company is no longer up. the 2m plans are available from RC Modeler, but I don't really know what happened to the 3m. I've got an E-Gnome three-fourths completed (bought at hobby people a while back). Skybench.com still offers it btw. www.skybench.com
your best bet would be to aquire a set of plans, get a laser cut ribset from http://laserartco.com (custom ribsets) and go at it :)

Hope this helps
Godspeed and see you on the flipside,
Ray

Anyone know where to get specs or have specs for the gnome? Wing area, AUW, and all of that good stuff. Thnx,

Greetings,

Gmome weighs in around 80-90 ozs, but carries a lot of wing.
At the last TD contest, it seemed that 4 out of 5 bent wings were Gnomes 3M.
FWI: There are back in production, along some other of Midway models kits. There is a full kit at one of our local hobby shops.
Easy to build. Strong. Flies well and priced far better than most.

Good Luck,

Jared

BSLI40@aol.com(don't know if this is still a good address). He made up partial kits after he got a number of orders. Easy to deal with.
