I recently acquired one of these vintage kits. I found a build thread here on RCU, but no reports on flying. Anybody else build and fly one of these? Would like to get your impressions/comments on the kit quality, build difficulty and flying characteristics.

Ed,

You may have better luck in the Warbird Forum with this question. Maybe you can ask a Moderator to move it for you.

Good luck in your search. I just LOVE Hellcats............

ED there actually less vintage than you would think

the Skyshark Hellcat kit is a virtual copy of the Heritage kit http://www.skysharkrc.com/category/F6F-Hellcat-Kit-71 matter of fact Skyshark has a fiberglass cowl for the kit if you want to buy one from them Vs the plastic one that comes in the box

I happen to have 2 of these kits new in the box one has never even been opened and the other was slightly damaged by UPS the one I am likely to build I need to get through some other projects first

Thanks for the info, bigtim. I've followed some of your build information on other warbirds in these forums. Not sure if I'll build this particular kit, though. I've got several other builds in the queue ahead of it. I looked at the Skyshark web site. $300 for this Hellcat kit. Yikes! I don't know if I should build it, or put it in a safe deposit box!
