No one. They're out of business, and have been for a # of years.

There were quite a few different models than just the ones sold under the "EZ" name I think. The bigger Nieuport-28 and Eagle-II come to mind.

Occasionally they pop up on EBAY. The last Eagle I saw sold for quite a few bucks as I recall, as did the last Nieuport I saw.

Recently I built an old OK Pilot Suprafly25 kit with OS32SX and tuned pipe. It flies very fast and straight. The small size makes it hard to track around the sky.

I think EZ (Pilot) has the Mustang and Zero of 30-size, what they called the laser-cut quick build series? Wonder how they flies?

Hi Pauser, pilot kits are not that great in quality and design for the price you pay for them. I remember building a Cebu ARF with really inferior materials, weak structure, warped wing, torn/peeling covering, incomplete instruction manual, and worst of all no customer support . Think again..........

Hi Rajul

I have built one Pilot kit (Suprafly25) and was quite happy with it.

That's my opinion after comparing it with my current project, a Marutaka FW190A. Well, if you happen to lose your instruction manuals for any kit, then that will look like a Marutaka kit!

I have a Pilot Zlin Acrobat kit at the moment. But not sure if I will start on it very soon.....
