anyone with prior experience with fully composite planes from kmp: weight, flight characteristics, finish,

apart from what is on the website.




I just pre-ordered one from chief aircraft. hopefully the zenoah 20's will fit well.

I got their first P-38, mucho junko... I hope the newer offerings are better, they have to be or they would be out of buisiness.

You will will find a world of difference from our products of 5 years ago and today. The DC3 is made of the very best Epoxy resin glass. The fuse Cowls and Wings all have panel lines and details masterfully crafted into the molds with the very best CnC machines.

We just received our shipments of DC'3 and all the civilian units are sold. I do beleive we have some Military versions still in Stock. For any further information feel free to contact us toll free 888-968-7251.

Hi,
Like any enterprise that is successful, first offerings get followed up with better and better products. Here for your view is my new KMP Bearcat. With a Zenoah G-26, it is a going machine, and not a single hiccup in assembly. I think that the VT/KMP/EMS enterprise is really trying.

Status: offline 		good news and bad news

the plane arrived but I ordered a dc3 and received a c47.

The good:: is that the overall quality and finish of the plane is perfect it felt great just holding it, I only got a chance to unpack a wing and the retracts as everything is going back in hopes of receiving what I ordered.

The retracts look extremely well done with huge 4" tires with aluminum wheels.

The c47 that I received looks great and it is huge I would of kept but my dad wanted a dc3, The manual leaves a lot to be desired as it gives no dimensions, and no specifications for servos and doesn't tell you where the extra 2 servos go or what they do.


my thoughts are ailerons 2 servos + flaps 2 servos + engines 2 servos + retracts 1 servo + elevators 2 servos + rudder 1 servo.


where do the other 2 servos go what did i miss. maybee tailwheel that is 1 more and then there is still 1 left over.

Status: offline 		-I received the dc3 after a lot of shipping issues. The extra servos are for the inside flaps or whatever you call them. And no servo for the tail wheel as far as I can tell.

-The whole plane is beautifully molded. There was tremendous attention to detail.

-The first problem is that the horizontal stabilizers do not sit flush against the fuselage.

-Both cowls are pretty badly done.

-The cowls will not really take away from the plane as I plan to install zenoah 20's somehow and there will be only about half the cowl left, hopefully the good half.

-The biggest issue I am having is it seems like they got someone with Parkinson's with one hand tied behind their back blindfolded and drunk while hanging upside down to apply the letter decals "Delta Airlines".

Status: offline 		Are you gonna post some pictures soon. I gotta see the decals! Thoes two servos are or might be for cowl flaps to open and close them.They aid in cooling the engines and also maintaining a constant eng temp on the real aircraft but don't know how funtional they would be on the model.

Thanks,
Steve Mullis

Status: offline 		Ok so I will post pictures very soon,

now so far It looks like its 6 servos for wing three servos per side throttle, aileron, flap, 2 servos for elevators one for each, 1 rudder, 1 retracts valve , 2 for inner flaps one each, for a total of 12 servos and a minimum of 6 channels.

I still have not gotten to the tailwheel but its probably secured to the rudder so no extra servo there.

The plane looks better and better each time the model itself is great apart from the decals.

About the cowl flaps nope none actually the cowl has very few details, and has a plastic look when compared to the rest of the plane. good thing I will be hacking them soon to fit the g20s.
