I have returned back to RC flying after a break of about 30 years. I used to own and fly what is now the only Rans S9 left in the country. I managed to find the S9 drawings and ordered a back copy of RCM&E. I christened mine 'Tweety' and had an image of Tweety Bird on the tail. I purchased it off the original builder, who decided on a 'high back'. The engine was a Rotax 532 water cooled with an under slung radiator. I might do the cockpit area as open as possible with a rigid wire cage glued on place . Because it has wing struts, this would need them to be a stressed member. Time will tell.
A big thanks to Peter Miller for a very good set of drawings.
I include a couple of photos below, but have a lot more detailed ones if anybody is interested. I am happy to answer any questions regarding the full size plane.

Yes, my model will be based on the full size one I owned.
The full size one was a challenge to fly, so I am pleased that the model has better manners.
I will update this thread with more pictures as the build progresses, but it will probably take quite a while as it competes with other non flying projects.
