Bob,

Are any of the older designs still available as kits for sport use? The super fast pattern ship comparison makes one sound very good for when I go all out and order a Jett 50 or 60. And I really like the looks of the racing Mustangs.

It's easier to justify the $250 airframe because it's easier to be in $250 worth of trouble with the wife instead fo $700 worth of trouble...

Used QM40 planes are rare. We usually fly them to death [:'(], or they sell quickly when placed on display for sale at a race But on occation you can find them. Email Dub, sometimes the 'plane of the month' game results in a surplus of last-months airframes.

Matney Models has a foam/glass Napier still, and the T-tail AJ-2 too. http://www.matneymodels.com/qm.html
Im not sure if Lyle Larson sells and of the older foam/glass planes or the Dago any more.

Don Stegall was at one time going to kit some of the "older" QM40 planes for Sport QM racing (TT40 power). Not sure how all of that evolved over time. I seem to recall that he had a Duane Gall/Ed Smith Stinger kit. Kit was not expensive. Ideal for what you are talking about here. http://www.pylonworld.com
