Challange 27

I have just inherited a Challenge 27. It seems to be in sound condition but with some rusting and bent vanes some of the tail parts are missing.
The tower is beyond repair so will be rebuilt with a wooden structure.
Any assistance in this project would be appreciated. Starting with the Assembly Manual. Where can I get hold of one.

Many thanks for these links. Very useful. Especially knowing the serial numbers of parts. I have a severely bent brake rod and springs that are gone so ideas on where to find replacements or find out the accurate dimensions so I can fashion new ones, as well as the size of the brake shoe which needs to replacement.
