Info on Morane Saulnier Type L

Hi everyone,

The Morane Parasol has always appealed to me as a subject for an RC model.
Currently toying with the idea of a scratch build with functional wing-warping.

I've been looking into available resources - primarily 3-views and drawings, but I feel I am only scratching the surface.

I have the windsock datafile #16 which seems like a good starting point.
Beyond that, the following online archive contains some original factory drawings. Not the Type-L unfortunately, but several related types:

There are also several replicas & museum exihibits as far as I have seen.

In case you are aware of other sources for drawings/schematics of the Type-L (or its Pfalz A1/Thulin D derivatives) I'd be grateful to learn of them.

Thanks

Thank you grim!
I have come across similar rc plans too.
They are great for semi scale balsa models, however not quite what I am looking for.
For my RC scale projects I try to replicate the original structure as much as feasible.
Typically this is limited by the extend of information I am able to find, which in this case isn't much unfortunately.

I might be too hopeful, but I would love to locate more detailed structural schematics.
Something like this:
(Morane 35, available from the link in my previous post).

Next to that are the starboard wings of my current project - this is the level of detail I would be aiming for.
