Kyosho Agwagon
I bought a used Kyosho Agwagon with a 60" wingspan. No engine or servos. Does anybody have a manual for this aircraft? I'm more than willing to pay for copying and postage costs.
Thank you.
Thank you.

David; I have one if the other guy can not find his; I had the same plane until a month ago and slammed it into the ground, is yours in good shape, because I still have some good parts that were not touched ie: Canopy, Wing Tips, Wing Struts, Tail Cone. Cowling was smashed, Let Me know what you need. Doug.

Cam 2,
Is that the Kyosho plane? I have one NIB and I am afraid to built it since it is so rare and highly sought after. Should I go ahead and built it? DP

RE: Kyosho Agwagon
Trek- Sorry, I cannot seem to find the Instruction manual. My plans are ripped to shreds.
DP- Yes it is. I found this kit one of the most enjoyable builds to date. I would love to build another. I wished they kitted a 60 size. I believe the plans are all metric, which is really not a problem. The wood supplied was very good. Looking back my only compliant was the main spar, I feel it needs to be a little more beefy. Mine is covered in Koverall with a HobbyPoxy finish. Powered by a YS45 and pitts style muffler. I later replaced this motor with a OS40 and it seemed to fly even more scale like, if that’s possible.
I contacted Cessna, they sent me a really nice photo pack of text and illustrations of the 188. Nice stuff.

RE: Kyosho Agwagon
Dai Phan,
Have to agree with Mike regardless of the cost. Not many folks out at my field are really impressed when you show them something in a box. They only become impressed when you fly it. And, $450 is peanuts compared to some of these aerobatic planes which cost $3,000 and up.
I'm just a beginner, eight months now, and have only done about two dozen flights. I even planted my first plane. Was I unhappy...sure, but it's only a plane. I don't abuse my equipment intentionally, but things happen and it is only a plane.
I have several Bud Nosen kits. Rare because they aren't made any more. My plan is to start bulding them this winter after I build a couple of others. I plan to have, or at least hope to have, the experience to fly them late next Summer or early Fall. I just can't see letting them sit in the box. They will only be great planes if I build them and fly them. I hope you do the same with your agwagon.
Also, I am getting a manual for my Agwagon. So, I'm not looking anymore. Thanks to everyone for their assistance.
