Have you looked on the 'For Sale' forum on here and other RC sites?..

Also, have a look on ebay..

Or you could build a tug...

Scott,

Did you build that Kitty Hawk class CV or is that a RTR?

Nice looking ship....that particular one is the USS Constellation (CV-64) I was on board during a WESTPAC cruise when she lost an F-14 from VF-24 ( 19 December, 1981) As I recall, the pilot missed the cables and went into the drink..... ah, memories!

She was a good ship.

Joel,
Tony here from Warehouse Hobbies, I was looking at our new adds and came across your request. We made a 5 piece fiberglass, molded in color 48" Tug in the late 80's. I'm sure we can pull the molds out of storage and make you one if you can't find what your looking for, just give us a call, and ask for me.
Thanks,
Tony C.[8D]

Is 48" enough flight deck for a model airplane to take off?
