Sagitta kits
Greetings all, I figured I would post in this forum to know what y'all thought.
I have found an old defunct hobby shop that I can buy old vintage kits at original prices. I have bought several power kits to add to my collection and to trade. There are many late 70's and early 80s glider kits there also. I believe there are several sagitta 600 and 900 kits, as well as many others from that era. Are these kits sought after? Are they trade worthy?
Any advice you might have would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again.

RE: Sagitta kits
Digger check out the well know on line auction sight and see how high some of the biding goes. Sounds like you have quite a find. If you could get a list I might be interested in some kits.

I'd be interested in Quasoar and Prodigy kits if they're available; could use the spares and the Prodigy kit would keep me from having to borrow a set of plans for finishing it! ;D

RE: Sagitta kits
Buy all the Sagittas you can afford (and more). List them all on eBay, where willing buyers will make it worth your while. Search for completed auctions to see what they have sold for.

RE: Sagitta kits
I built three of them, two 600's, and a 900, back in the eighties. I remember that the parts were all machine cut, and every thing fit very well. The quality of these kits is outstanding. On top of all that, they are just plain pretty airplanes. I still have the plans, and might build another someday.
I finished the second 600 in a single, all day, building session.
