I just took delivery of the .60 version and it appears to be a very first class kit. In fact this is a SCALE kit. I am very interested in learning about your experiance. I have read the plans and directions and frankly I am a little intimidated. Scale hinges etc.
I have started the (Airsail) Beaver and it is for a builder that has scale building experiance. I look forward to your pic's. Good luck on the Auster as it is a real sweet kit. Mikel-T

Richmond RC has the AOP9 kit for 199. Anybody try to order from them. It's in their blowout section. Their website is www.richmondrc.com

I tried to contact them to order, but cannot get a reply. Anyone ever order from them?

I would like to hear more about the Airsail Beaver. It will be my next build. What engine are you considering. I'd likt to put in a 4 stroke but their not much room up front. Maybe some modification. I have a OS .25 FX that will fit. I'll probably use that.

Hi Guys,
The December issue of Flying Scale Models had a 3 page article on this kit. Not much on building but good pictures of a finished kit.
