Guess Great Planes saw the need to give us 'sport' guys another shot at the Ultra Sport - redesigned for easier building I suppose. Should be ready to ship later this month - check out Great Planes web site for more info.....yeah, another kit to build!

As if you don't have enough already. If the US40 is beyond your meager skills, give it to Jonathon.

If they'd bring back the .60 (kit) I'd have renewed faith that they're not eventually going to become an arf-only supplier. Both those kits made excellent models (and man - the ebay prices on the .60 are out of site anymore it seems!)

I ordered one from my LHS on Tuesday, early Christmas gift to myself I guess Now if I only had the time to build it...will have to put some other projects on hold, this plane looks like it's going to be great. Have an ASP .80 4 stroke just waiting for it.

I built a US 60 last winter and installed a OS 91 Surpass. I got it on EBay and I still see size 60 and 1000 kits either on EBay or one of the RC Forums. It is a great kit. Mine now has about 20 to 30 flights on it. I had a Ultra Sport 40 kit with a OS 50 engine a long time ago and it was stolen from my station wagon along with a set golf clubs. It also was great flyer.

The original US40 is my all-time favorite. I have two MAJOR building projects on the bench right now, but the new US+ will be next in line!

I just ordered one from my LHS. I am so happy they have made a new kit to build. Lately any plane I find of interested in is only availble in an "ARF". I hope they will produce more kits for those of us who like to build.

A BIG THANK YOU to Great Planes!

Hmm....Tower now says it will show up in late October instead of mid October, are we surprised? The good news is that they dropped the price a bit.

Default Strike

No telling how the Longshoreman strike will effect our hobby - especially delaying the ARF's arrivals....shouldn't have too much effect on the kits - right?

I thought all those ARF's coming into the country was the REASON for the strike... The long shoremen don't want that crap coming into their ports.
