MA did publish a pretty amazing construction article by Bob Randolph in
September 1991. It covers his Top Cat 90L-1 model. I still have the
issue, but you can find it in the digital archives. The archive doesn't
show the plans which were in the magazine, but they are fairly
comprehensive and show a fair amount of detail including his VP mechanism.
 Of course this was a fully braced 65cm microfilm model and a lot has
changed since then.
