RE: Where Have All The Kits Gone ?
As one of those kit horders for many years I too swore I would build each and every one of them. Now that is really funny to any that believe that. I have an excell list for those interested. I will be honest I am not giving them away but will let them go at reasonable prices based on today's market. Not EBay prices, but I won't give them away.
PM me for a list if interested.

Okay I have two emails that came back undeliverable for the list. I also went through and cleared part of my inbox so if you pm'ed me an email address and did not get an email from me, resend it to me and I will resend the list.

RE: Where Have All The Kits Gone ?
Hi everyone....
Does anyone happen to have (or know anyone that has) a Big-Stik 40 kit available for sale? Am looking for a full kit, not an ARF or RTF. Building (and modifying) them is half the fun.
Thanks everyone!

RE: Where Have All The Kits Gone ?
Thanks for this post, I am just getting back into flying RC's after 20 years out. I was almost nauseated by the ARFS and RTF's (I really mean no offence) but I was a builder before. I have heard SKYSHARK was out of business, they had one I really wanted to get back into the hobby with. Curtiss Jenny 60". Well now I have a little hope again after seeing all these kit cutters listed. Many people don't have the time to build them, I am retired and would really enjoy it if I found the right kits.

I don't think they ever had a Jenny, so it must be somebody else???

RE: Where Have All The Kits Have Gone !
The Ballistick kit is taking longer than expected due to a computer hard drive crash and now my foamcutter board burned a regulator. i am retiring from my day job at the end of the year so a few more new designs should be forthcoming.

Hi, Jerry. I hope that all is well your way out in Arizona.
Boy, some folks have all of the good fortune these days. I have a Troublemiaker kit, but it is the newer wooden version by Bluejay Models. I saw Tony Bonetti fly his Troublemaker at Bowie, Marylland back in 1981. What a nice guy and an excellent pilot. I would try to get the Troublemaker kit if the price was reasonable, though I'm sure that my Bluejay version will yield an excellent rendition. With my lungs in the bad shape they are in, the wood version should be easier to cover with plastic film, thus eliminating the painting dust and fumes.
I'm not familiar with the D&B Zero kit.

Looking for the construction manual of the Tarbaby pattern airplane designed by Ron Chidgey.
Scanned will be OK.
Thanks.
