I would really love to see this in person.

With out a doubt...this is one of my all time super models to have and I would love a Super "G" model. No one has a kit or ARF...and this one would take a semi to haul to the model airport and the cost...ouch. I gotta know...does anyone have the price on this model ? Just consider the shipping...ouch ! A good 100" model would make my day and I just might sell my first born for this one. Dream on...

Probably can be had for a little less than that, somewhere.

Well..if I win the lottery...

I would probably be happy enough with the 12 foot wingspan Phillip Noel Connie...much more work, far less money. A US laser cutter, manzanolaser.com has (or at least, used to have) the semi kit.

Wish there was a nice Connie ARF in the 96" span range.

Hi Thomas,

If you can wait few more months then 9' wingspan S Connie's short kits will be available....Here is detailed thread on 105" to 109" wingspan S Connie model very near it's completion of first prototype model...price will be economical in comparison then this ARF's retail price posted....

With the two piece wing and two piece fuse, I bet it will fit fine in a normal van and perhaps even in a minivan. I have hauled a 10 foot long one piece fuselage for a C-5 model in my 2006 Honda Odyssey with inches to spare.... .

My Super Constellation arrived today! I think its the 1st one in Europe! hahaha

2 huge boxes, they didnt even fit in my Ford Transit, I had to take the wings out of the wing box.

Quality of the plane is brilliant, very solid but light.

I will keep you posted on progress as I intend fitting DLE 35cc engines.

Bye for now,
Brian

Bill here you go, nearing maiden flight. Some tooling is already made, other will be made after the maiden flight, after all bugs are removed and all the testing has been done. Improvements implemented if needed to be.

This video is from Dec 1, now all 4 engines are running!....taxi trials soon to start.


Enjoy for now.

They have a full scale model just down the road at Fantasy of Flight in Lakeland Florida.

Anyone have some photos of their plane?

Status: offline 		Hey Guys,

I finally managed to see Connie fully assembled.
The plane is huge and looks great.

I am very happy with how the model is built and assembles. All I need to do before the test flight is sort out the throttle curve and mechanically/ electronically through the powerbox synchronize the DLE35RAs.

I took a couple of photos in the sun at the flying field.

Regards,
Brian
