RE: Aviation Design Fouga Magister
I'm sure these guys in Houston would sort you out even though the kit is not on their web page.

RE: Aviation Design Fouga Magister
The kit is not on our web site for a good reason: although it is a beautiful plane, the moulds are very old and the components lack in visual quality.
The moulding joints are very wide and some parts require a lot of alignement job. However the parts are built in our factory in France and are super strong as well as quite light. The laminates use a lot of carbon fiber.
Also, this is a true builder's kit and requires a lot of knowledge about very large jets to get airborne.
All the flight controls need to be cut and hinged. All gear doors need to be cut, hinged and cinematics need to be worked out. All internal components need to be custom placed as there is no guidance and mounting plates need to be custom created. Furthermore there is no builder's manual.
For this reason there are very few of these planes flying in the world ( 2, I think for the time being ).
I am working on one very slowly...
