Status: offline 		Very nice looking models, I especially liked the Gooney Bird. One thing I don't understand, about either of them. As much attention as was obviously spent on scale detail, why did they make the wings flat? (no dihedral). The C182 has about 2-1/2 degrees, and the C-47 about 6 or so. The models would sure be more stable with the scale dihedral.

Status: offline 		It is a good looking plane. You don't get a sense of just how big the thing is until you see someone next to it. As to my earlier post on dihedral There are a few pics that show it the way it should be, but also some showing the plane with none at all. Maybe it's camera angle. Fine looking models.

You'll have to e-mail Tommy to get pricing. He'll be able to let you know about shipping costs too.

Status: offline 		Hi-
The C-47 in RNAF colors on Tommy's webpages is mine, and I also had his 1/5 Cessna. Both are very stable flyers, no problem. A slightly increased wingspan and washout at the wing tips compared to scale account for this.

Status: offline 		Were they easy to build?

I have never ordered anything from TMMY Scale Composites. When you ordered the planes, did you have any problems? What condition were they in when they arrived? How did you have them shipped to you? Ground? Air? Sea? How did you pay for the planes? I'm not trying pry, it's just that TMMY is a new company & I'm just trying to gauge their level of service. Plus I REALLY want to order that 35% scale Cessna.

Thanks,

Saul

I may have to switch my plans and go for this one! Although I do also like the 1/5 version.Does the fuzz on the 35% Cessna detach into 2 x halves for transport anybody know? Otherwise transport could be a problem with this version

I am guessing that he may not be able to reply, as our conversation was going along quite nicely. Maybe he's away or has no internet connection or something. I will send another email and wait.

Status: offline 		Normally these models are custom built to order, so the buyer can decide on the final finish like any preferred colour scheme, lettering etc. This means a certain length of time should be allowed for production and delivery.
