I stumbled upon a website that serves the world of modelers but has a heavy emphasis on scratch and vintage building. Being of a certain "vintage" I found a lot of memories.
I have uploaded some scans of plans I have found.
There is a very useful section in the forum of workshop techniques.
Lots of good stuff, on aerodynamics, scale, indoor, outdoor etc.
Enjoy

The best thing is, it is two Canadians who run / own it.

Re: Fascinating Canadian Model Web Site
I've been on this site for several years and it is one of my favorites. It does however have very little RC stuff and is mainly Free Flight with a smattering of control line.
Despite that, It does have some very significant building and repairing techniques which are just as applicable to RC as free flight.
There is a thread on my E 36 Free flight design in the Electric Power section.
