Default Weddell-Williams racer #121 Gilmore Red Lion

Try looking for the following Museum in LA if Katrina didn't demolish
it? They might have some plans but probably most of the birds of that
era were hand built, one each cut to fit.

Wedell-Williams "Red Lion"

Jimmie Wedell and Harry Williams formed an air service in
Patterson, Louisiana in 1928, but went on to become nationally
prominent during what was known as the Golden Age of Aviation. They
won numerous races, but both eventually perished in plane crashes.
The Red Lion was one of their most famous planes. The Wedell-Williams
Museum was established by the Louisiana state legislature as the
state's official aviation museum.

I want to build a Weddell-Williams racer. The #121 Gilmore Red Lion
version. Does anyone know where I can get a set of plans for it?
I'm just finishing my present homebuilt and need a new project.
