JR found one online, but it's more like a boomerang trainer than a Scanner from a quick look. He was thinking that it would kill three birds with one stone, by being a robust trainer, be something that would round pylons well and be a club project to get members building and hanging out together (and spreading the corona love).
I don't know if we copied a Scanner if it would be allowed to race. Dennis' scratch-built Scanner ended up being significantly lighter than a shop-bought one, so if he flew it well and it proved to be faster down the straight and through a turn, other pilot's wouldn't like it and they'd wrap aluminium foil around his transmitter antenna again. That worked this time and we don't think he noticed.
