A few years ago, maybe 10 or more, there was a teacher that helped his students build a replica Dauntless Dive Bomber. They supposedly used the plans from a Guillow's Balsa Wood kit and scaled the plans to 5/8 scale, I think. I'm sure they had to make some other modifications, as well. I have been looking for information on this aircraft (it was finished) and the project guidelines under which they performed the work. I do remember seeing the completed aircraft in some magazine but efforts to find the article came up dry. The aircraft was supposedly sold after it was completed. If anyone has any information on this project/aircraft please let me know. Thanks. SJG
