Default C-7 Caribou

Does anyone know if there are plans for a C-7 Caribou? It was flown by the US Army and Air Force (and many other countires to include AUS).

I have started the scalerc models airplane. There are no cowl canopies or wings available. Decided to bash it... Retracts and the like. also the plans have a keel going thru the cargo door. That doesn't cut it. this is an older picture of the fuse 3weeks ago. Now I'm waiting for my harbor freight table saw to cut some straight lines in ply for the motor mounts and retracts. going to try to make a pod to hang from the wing.

I seem to recall that Palmer Plans or Don Smith offered a Caribou? I don't have their listings available to check??

Here is my old Bou. Same plans, but built back when you could get the glass parts. Had working "clam shell" cargo doors.

Dear Sir ,


Am I associated RCUNIVERSE and recently I did buy the plant of DH-7 of ScaleRcModels and according to the plant the wing is made of foam, and did I think about drawing the wing again in wood balsa and ply, but did I find a topic with images of his construction of this airplane that you built the wing in balsa and ply, could I help myself with this small problem?
If possible to sell me a copy of the plant of the wing already modified? or then to find out which the aerofolio that you used to modify the wing.
Thankful for the attention, and happy new year

Respectfully.
Sergio Luiz
