Default Fiesler F 2 Tiger Plans?

I am interested in the Fiesler F 2 Tiger. This was a single seat
taper wing biplane powered by a Walter Pollux II 450 HP engine.
Gehard Fiesler used it in winning the first World Aerobatic
Championship in 1934. I have seen just a few photos of it and know
very little about it. I think that Elly Beinhorn flew it as well
before she began her long distance solo flights. I don't know how
many were built or whether any survive. Seems like it might be a good
project one day powered by an R 985.
