How many kits do you have right now?
love the name...
in your 400 sets of plans would you have the plans for the ultrasport 60 showing rib and former patterns.
have an arf, blue/white, but would like to build one from good old balsa and plywood?
I have high hopes from you
thanks and happy flying

I remember when a Contender was considered an excellent Fun Fly airplane! The best flyers would do Limbo inverted and still win!
There is no 12 steps for me
Hi, My name is Paul and its been almost 3 months since a have bought a new kit.
shakes head I wish I have 6 plus and pnp on the way. Just have to be in the garage to beat the ups man to the door.
Have you ever wondered if they let you build your incomplete and unstarted RC airplanes in heaven?
Ifpersons have a place where they use balsa and ply, an Xacto knife, glue and whatever goes in the construction of a model airplane then they are in heaven.
As simple as that.

Thank you.
Joe.
It is harder to find a good kit .In the last couple months there weren't many good kits that can be found on RC Universe,RC Groups and Ebay. Any of you kits hoarder have an Ikon N'wst Lockeed Vega that you want to sale please let me know.
Thank you.
Joe.
This is just to tease you. I have the Vega, kit but it's not for sale.
The kit is under my bed, next to four others. (Hostetler Luscombe and Fairchild 24, Holman 190D, Messer Piper Tomahawk, VK Corbin Super Ace) All will get built.......Someday.
Top Flight – very complete instructions, a little diecrunched great classic subjects
1.P-51 Mustang Gold Edition
2.P-40 Warhawk Gold Edition, with retracts andfiberglass cowl, cockpit kit
3.F4U Corsair Red Box, Dummy radial and cockpitkit
4.Stinson Reliant
5.P-39 Air Cobra – red box this is a .40-.60 sizedplane as opposed to the .60-.90 planes (Mustang, Warhawk and Corsair) and I have an RCV-60SP to try and preserve thenose of the plane – likely replace some of the nose material with a paintedscreen material to get enough air flow
Ikon N’West - I likethese kits hand cut parts – not everybody does
1.D-145 Monocoupe – Lindberg’s plane
2.Sperry Messenger, missing cowl and landing gearwire - latest in - my wife is stilltalking to me but just had to put vinyl siding on stepson’s back porch eves –no wonder I don’t get any model building done – clean the fish tank today.
Carl Goldberg
1.Anniversary Ed.Piper J-3 – in work - still
2.Electra, Bought this for my dad before discovering that his cataracts were worse than he’d admitted. Had to buy a wing kit to replace some of thework he’d done. My dad built an oldtimer glider for me 60 years or so ago when I was 6 or 7. Good to remember these things
Golden Age Models
1.Ryan STA, Short kit, 1.2 four stroke sized – nice kit but no less complicated than the SIG version. Nice fiberglass work, with templates tolaminate the wing tips and tail feathers
SIG – Built Kadet Mk II and Senior so I have a special affinityfor the SIG kits
1.Liberty Sport
2.¼ Scale Piper J-3, working on a laser cut dummyengine for this. FromTop Notch Products – good name, fits – they've got some nice kits I’ll have totry one.
3.Cessna 172, 54” wing span, came to SIG fromBerkeley. Neat old kit even the decalsare decent, Don McGovern design –Berkeley Plans – got some great on line helpto identify the plans. Unusual construction and pretty crisp cutting
4.Fairchild PT-19 complicated plane for its sizevery much in the same vane as the Ryan STA kit
Bud Nosen
1.Mr. Mulligan, pre A&A Industries, with FiberglassSpecialties long cowl and wheel pants – got the DLE-55 for this on the shelf - onthe short list to build. Kit diestamping is pretty rough even for the Nosen origin.
2.¼ Champion Citibria, Laser cut short kit fromBrian over at [email protected]. Nicely cut parts with a set of plans carefullypackaged at a very good price. Brian isa full time farmer and part time kit cutter wouldn’t count of getting a kituntil after harvest. Good guy with otherpackages available.
Proctor – lovely scale details among the best WW I kits –wonderful support – just reading the plans and instruction book is an education
1.Neiuport 11
2.VK Sopwith Camel
3.VK Sopwith 1 ½ Strutter
4.VK Neiuport 17
5.VK Fokker DR-1
Balsa USA
1.1/3<sup>rd</sup> Scale Sopwith Pup – got this byaccident getting only the long box without plans. Thought to be the VK Fokker DR-1. Discovered the wing ribs were 19.25” longcompared to the 6” ribs for the DR-1 took a long time to identify. Finally identified it and got the missingcowl box and plans from BUSA – nice folks – very helpful. Neat kit huge aluminum cowl several buildson-line.
Dynaflte
1.Super Decathlon – nice kit big box, lots of woodprobably build it before the Mulligan to work on my chops and get some sticktime – got a couple of large engines looking for a home. Kit cutting is good.
Fun Aero – anybody know what happened to these guys got aURL?
1.Albatros DIII 60” – nice laser cut sport scaleplane – pretty good kit – looks great in the bones may never get covered.
Coverrite – fun sport scale planes give you a smile
1.Art Chester Jeep – in work – neat gull wing

Pica
1.Cessna 182
2.Spitfire .40-.60, 65” WS
3.Bucker Jungmeister 133, 60” WS
4.Focke Wulf 190A. 0.30 sized – bought it bymistake.
Unionville
1.Dehavilland Beaver – lots of wood in the boxanyone know of a cowl for this plane?The plastic cowl in the box seems to have too much flair to it. Solid kit - forest of wood.
Flair
1.Puppeteer – bought this to get an idea about theFlair kits this is the original not the Mk II pretty nice kit.
Dave Platt
1.T-28B Trojan 0.60, 65” WS
Byron Original
1.Beechcraft BT-24, not the V-tailed Bonanza,standard rudder and elevator – not comfortable with the foam wings and abscovering for the tail and ailerons. Nicefuselage needs some optional parts transparent windows and retracts – not optimistic.
<o></o>
Aristo Craft – Japanese kits very cleanly cut a bit heavyfor their rated engines but room for bigger engines – unusual subjects – good scaleoutline probably need to add ailerons these are basically 3 channel kits with alot of dihedral.
1.Grumman F3F – “Flying Barrel”
2.Stagger Wing Beech
Royal – lots of balsa in these boxes – craftsman’s kits lotof sanding – still very cool kits of classic subjects
1.Boeing P-6E, 63” WS
2.Douglas C-47
Ohio RC
1.Extra 300 for 1.2 four stroke. Lots of wood, nice fiberglass cowl and bigcanopy seems pretty straight forward kit
J-5 Enterprises
1.Stinson Voyager, ¼ scale missing plans all hardwood with a reputation for building heavy. My make a good fire some night if I decide tobuild from Hostetler plans
Airsail (NZ)
1.Auster AOP9 – 0.40-.60, 74.8” WS sized kit, shouldhave bid harder on the ¼ scale version – neat kit unusual subject – not yourdad’s L-4 nice kit from New Z eland
Wendell Hostetler – plans – nice folks
1.Stinson Voyager, 26% - May use the J-5 kit as anorgan donor.
2.Dehavilland Beaver, 22%
