Got this kit at Joe Nall--sport pattern style--looked great while it was flying then. Anyway, I just had to get one. I know they are new on the market but I thought somebody here may have one already flying. Any experiences?

Jeff,

It is a Marcelo Columbo kit. It is all laser cut and looks very good. I was thinking of selling my Seduction and getting one with a YS 91 in it. The kit with sheeted wings is 199 from planes Plus.

Thanks, Heard steve had a fairly succesfull contest last weekend. Did you atttend?

I went to the planes plus web page, but they did not have any links to this plane. Is there a picture somewhere? I've got a Saito 100 looking for a home!

Default I bought one....

and have the fuse done. It is a very nice kit. The instructions suck, but there are a set of nice pictures on the web site. The plane will be awesome. I plan on using a Saito 100.

I also bought a Widebody 60 at Joe Nall, but haven't started it yet (I'm *still* finishing up my Midwest G-202). I have both a YS FZ91 and FZ120 on the shelf and am debating which engine to put in it. I also have a Boxer 90 I'm planning to build and I don't really want to buy another engine. Any suggestions on which engine should go where?

Pugsley's right...the instructions really stink, but his website now has much more extenstive instructions with photos. I still think it should come with plans, which is my only real gripe.

BTW, the english URL for the Widebody 60:

Daren just email Planes plus and ask them how much it is. That is all i did. Snsmith if i were u i would put the 91 on the wide body and the 120 on the boxer. I think it is really important to keep this thing really light to have a good flying plane.

OK, now I'm getting paranoid. I must be the only person in america that hasn't seen a widebody60! Both URL's supplied don't work either.
