looking for build instructions for Coverite's Black Baron Special

I'm just getting back into RC and have a partially built (wing and tail) Black Baron Special. I have all the parts but no instructions other than the wing plans. If anyone has the instructions and can copy/scan them for me it would be immensely helpful. thanks!

I'm considering putting up for sale a new in box Black Baron Specia

kit. Only the fin, rudder and stab were nicely covered in whit Ultracote, easily removed if needed.

If there is any interest please let me know.

Hi A bit late I know I've just found the forum. I have the instructions you need and I'll try and copy them if you still need them.I bought my Back Baron Special 20 years ago and thought I might get to build it this year! Let me know if you still need them. Holi.

I picked one up at an auction and reserected it. Does anyone know what the cg might be?

No, but if you're up to a bit of math this'll get you there:

I always test fly with the CG a bit forward, then if the test flight wasn't too hairy I try it a bit further back, then more back, etc.

Forward CG = stable, not much elevator authority at low speeds.

Rearward CG = snappy performance or outright unstable, easier to do snap rolls (whether you want to or not!), more efficient.

Where you want the CG will depend on your flying ability and taste.
