Are you bragging or are you offering this kit for sale?! <g>
Seriously though, when did you purchase the kit...have you looked at the kit, what do you think of it?
Is the vendor still in business? If you were interested in selling the kit, what would you be asking for it?
Also, which engine do you plan to use in this plane?
Regards,
Mike

RE: Where Have All The Kits Gone ?
Ok guy, I need to step in here for a second and remind people of some of the RCU rules. It is against the RCU rules to offer items for sale in the forums. And I've seen a bit of that going on here. A recent change to our rules now allows you to post wanted ads, so if there is something you are looking for there is nothing wrong with asking in a thread such as this. The only thing we ask is that you do the actual transaction details in PM's and not in the open forum. But offering items you have for sale, linking to Marketplace or auction ads, or any other method of letting people know that you are selling an item is not allowed here on RCU. I ask that everybody please abide by these rules
SELLING:
All selling takes place in theRCU Marketplacewhich provides forfreelistings to non-commercial members for BOTH classifieds OR auctions. We have tools and features in our marketplace that no discussion forum cancompareto. These tools help you to trade safely and more efficiently. So please useonlythe Marketplace to do your buying, selling and trading.
No auction or for sale posts in the forums please. No asking for bids or words that would lead the buyer to assume you are having an auction or classified ad. No discussion forum threads or posts linking to any classified or auction ads unless the information answers a question being discussed or questions the value or condition of the product and it is not yours or an acquaintance's. If you have an item for sale or auction elsewhere and are bound by their contract to fulfill the terms, please do not post the same item for sale at RCU. Raffles are only allowed with written permission from RCU management.

If you have an item for sale or auction elsewhere and are bound by their contract to fulfill the terms, please do not post the same item for sale at RCU. Raffles are only allowed with written permission from RCU management.
Want ads are available in the Marketplace. However, you may post for help locating something in the forums. Any mention of "will trade" or a product you have to offer in exchange for the item wanted is not allowed. The want ad should only request what you are looking for and we expect users to respond with replies that they either have the item or where the member might find it or get it. The poster should expect to pay cash (not trade) for the item expected unless those who reply offer it to the member for free, which is also acceptable.
Thanks for your cooperation here

Sorry about that...I'm pretty sure I was the recent offender here. I appreciate the reminder of how things are supposed to work. It started off as an innocent conversation and quickly turned into something more. I'll be more careful in the future.

Wooo Hooo!, I just scored a .60size Super Aeromaster Bipe for my kit stash. The newer Great Planes version, not the original Andrews kit.
I've wanted one of these for some time but just try to find one on Ebay, I dare ya'. Everyone I went for, the bidding went over $250 even before the snipers hit. After a while I just gave up even looking. I lucked into this one for a mere $140.00.
I can still remember way back when fingering through the kit at the local hobby shop. Smelling the balsa, reading the directions, rolling out the plans and discussing them with the owner. Ahhhh, the good 'ole days. My interests and abilities were else where at the time so I kept putting off getting a kit. Who knew what would happen right.... They'll always be around.... right???

RE: Where Have All The Kits Gone ?
This is the proverbial needle in the stack! I am really hoping someone out there can help. I had a listing for a U.S. company that had the plans for, I swear, every RC Flier ever built and offered short kits. This little gem was in my "bookmarks List". Ya!, you know it, MY BAD, did not back it up!!! Blew a drive in the raid section of my good PC and "POOF" it was gone!
The web site was done in basic red & white logo with 2 descending columns in black and white listing their available plans. And yes these columns were long. They even had the plans for my old Das Little Stick and offered a short kit. These people have been around for a while so I am really hoping that someone of my vintage out there might know the site. I simply cannot remember the name for the life of me. I have tried Google but there are so many new people out there offering laser cut kits it is simply mind boggling! I do not have the time.
Thanks Guys!

''What is the history of this company? ''
On a scale of 1-10 I would give them a 9 for their product and a 10 for their service.

In my head I'm building a Phoenix 5, a 12' Telemaster and finishing up several other models. In reality, I'm not doing much of anything. I do have several planes ready to fly, so I'm not hurting for working models. The very next thing that I want to fly is my Art-Tec (sp?) Pitts Special RTF electric model and my Raptor 30 V.1.
How about you?

RE: Where Have All The Kits Gone ?
I found another kit builder today that I thought I should post here. Like always, I'm sure many of you know about this source, but I'm always learning about new kit sources, so here you go:
http://www.glhobbies.com/index.html
Anybody have any experience with any of the kits from this vendor?
