Looking for a used or unused set of Graham Lee plans for study purposes. Nieuport, Morane, or Sopwith. Not going to build a WW1 replica, but I want to learn about the materials, tube sizes and metal thicknesses, rivet pitch, load paths, structural attachments, etc. that Mr. Lee developed and tested for his successful series of replicas.

I believe these plans sell through the Lee Nieuport store for between $99 and $199. If I were going to build a replica I would gladly buy the plans from the designer's family. But in this case I want to trade stuff I have (TBD) for a set of legitimate plans. This keeps me from spending actual cash (I can hear my wife loading the pistol in the other room), and allows me to leverage my enormous "stealth wealth" (parts, pieces, instruments, airplane junk) to get something I want to learn about.
