Spirit of St. Louis kit/plan?

Question

Been searching on Google for a while and have not come up with much in the way of finding scale drawings or maybe at best find a kit that is around a

60 thru 1.2 (engine) size. I have a set of plans for a 1/4 scale, but think this may be a touch out of my skill/price range and would most likely be a long term project and mucho bucks. As I said, I can take sheet plans and turn it into a fairly reasonable fact simile of what the plans state but a kit would be more desirable. Thanks in advance for advice.

The January 1979 issue of Flying Models has one, in a 93" wing span. It's listed for .40 to .71 engines, so it'd do fine on a .60. It's a really pretty model.

Their plans service has them available:

The plans themselves look detailed enough for an experienced builder to duplicate, although you may want to see if you can find a copy of the article if you want to build the plane (FM doesn't have that one in their back-issue list).

I don't remember the size, but can be scaled to whatever you need.Joh--pmpjoh-----------------------------------------------------------------------pmpjohn's Profile:  this thread:

Thanks for the link. Googling did not turn it up. Did several searches using different variations of "spirit", "St. Louis", "plans", etc.
