hi, OUTACONTROL41, what color scheme would you like? we probably only use this yellow/black for Australian market, tell us and send some photos for the color scheme you like,

and we can make it! we would like to upgrade this plane by adding a navigation lite on the rudder. give us your comments for the upgraded, color....lights............


I will research this and post a few pictures, although I'm not really against your current color scheme....that's pretty nice, too. As far as upgrades? Oh, oh...you're makin' me drool again! Yes, but I should say maybe use your best judgement considering it's an ARF ( a high quality ARF and the quality is getting higher ). I'm just not used to seeing this much scale realism in an ARF so I don't know what your limitations are. Maybe a wing light? A realistic cockpit dashboard w/ pilot? What do you other guys think?

Status: offline 		hi,guys, I selected few color schemes, the production would be finished within one month and then we can release to American market! now we would like to add a light on the rudder (for scale reason). if your guys can tell us what color scheme is your favorite before next Friday, we are so appreciated! then, within 25-35 days, we would finish the production!
hurry for the color schemes!
thank you!

Status: offline 		Dear Mr/Miss AUSTARSMODEL,

I like the second color sceme, nice but simple. It allows for personal customization by the new owner. Hopefully the "coloring" will be a decal set that is included but not installed so a guy could go his own route if prefferred. BTW, I kinda like the yel/blk scheme.

We didnt reaize you were so far along in development that you can get these to market in 30 days, thats very exciting news!

What is the target cost range for this model? Is it designed to compete with RCGuys in the US500 range? Or is it designed to compete with the Modelbau Pawnee in the US1500-US2000 range.

Additional features are nice but I dont think we would want the pricing structure run up to the sky because of them. Not everyone wants Nav Lights (I do ). I think a really cool feature for lighting would be the ablility to install them in the airframe if you WANTED to. Wire routing guides or at least holes in the right places. Lenses for the lighting, molded for the contour of the surfaces, would be a nice (expensive) touch also.

Status: offline 		Couple more observations....

What are you/we doing for a spray bar attachment? Will we have to open the wing up to add this?

No forward hatch cover?

and thanks bassfisher...what engine range?

I would like to see an "agwagon" color scheme available also...dunno if that infringes on any patents or what, all the more reason to be able to recieve it "naked"

Status: offline 		Well, i think the yellow is OK but would rather like to see anything else but that. i do worry though about the majority of white on these AG's for visibility. of the two you listed above i like the 2nd. one more.
i think the nav light is excellent... a nice touch that i don't think costs much at all. better to do it now in an ARF then later on which could prove pretty difficult.
i think it would be great to keep the hardware specs up to par as well. no sense in including parts that people will find that aren't quite up to the task.
i agree with others about the spray bar attachment. could it be an option maybe, ?? that would keep the price down a bit but for the hardcore scalers it could be upgraded at any time. just a thought.
i like to see good wheels on a nice looking airframe. nothing too cheap. i don't know why but i suppose we spend so much time doing everything else on these birds and then slapping on a pair of $15 seem to bring it down a level. yeah, crazy i know. just thinking outloud!
here are two of mine i like.

yeah it's pretty damn fine as well... but not my favourite. i'm sure a sharper, brighter photo would help it.
any more ideas out there?

Status: offline 		[)]Hi, guys, thanks for your all comments! we have finished the production for 98 inch Cessna-206TC, the color scheme is based on the real Cessna-206TC made in 2006. we postponed the time to release 206TC as we feel the bigger 110 inch Aghusky would be appealing, and we would release early!
we have no idea to compete with any companies (we are based in Australia), when we searched the market, we found no company designing and manufactuering Aghusky.
We used 3MM-53CC TOC engine to power this plane! the same on 106 inch Curtiss Jenny.

now 3-4 colors are on the web for our option, before next Friday, we get the most welcomed........

price for this plane would be $ 600-720 USD, depending on covering film (we prefer Oracover), lights (rudder and wing),

have a good weekend!

I really like this scheme, but would change the canopy to all red like in the other red one. This is one very nice looking model. I must keep saying to myself I don't need another arf........I don't need another arf...oh heck...subscribing
