Hi Rick,
I'm talking to the factory to see if we can squeeze some spare parts into the order. It all comes down to how much we can fit in the container. If I can get the parts order in then I'll make sure there are set of XL wings in there for you. Stay tuned.

Are you going to have the Ferrari red scheme? How about a Blue Angels scheme?

Larry,

Congratulations on your new venture! I would love to see that Navy scheme Torus flying at the old South Weymouth Naval Air Station.

Hi Stegl...for this order we stuck with the existing color schemes.

We are in the process of looking at some new designs.

If any of you guys have any thoughts on something particular you'd like to see, please feel free to send me your thoughts and ideas.

Only the Elan has the Ferrari scheme at this time.

if the demand is there we could easily transfer it to the XL

Hi Mark.... I would be happy to anything flying at South Weymouth once again. Kites included. What a shame we couldn't get established there. Looks like you'll have to frequent Plum Island more often !

See you soon,

Larry

I like the Elan sports scheme and think it would look well on the Sprint as well....... maybe someone knows how to do simulated colour rendering , I think they call it ;on one, to see what it looks like or any other colour scheme for that matter. Then do a survey. Think the military on these birds is old stuff and new racy colour scheme is in order for this decade. Lots of good ideas are out there on non-boom models . Different if it was a scale model of a military aircraft . Just my humble opinion in any case.

Hey Indy... I never made it to the Ohio club. I was in Hot Springs Village. It was a 2nd home / vacation home. Loved the area because I got to relax and unwind there. didn't take in too much of the night life.

Maybe you can jam for us at one of the jet events sometime?

All the best,

Larry

The Elan kit I puchased from Patricia a couple years ago came with a canopy made from a very thin flimsy plastic. Noticeable when compared to my buddy's which was an older version.

I ended up having to replace it and the entire canopy deck/cowl when the plastic shattered in flight and ripped the deck off the airframe. When I ordered the replacement I ordered two canopies and ended up using both stacked together for strength.

Please se ensure that the mfr uses a suitable quality and thickness of canopy material going forward.

I'm not sure how/why they do this but be careful as ghujll's post is spam; It is a copy and paste of ira d's comment on the first page of this thread.

Good suggestion, Paul and any others out there; Larry wants all the input from past users he can get so he can keep an eye out for the week points and improvements needed to make this comeback successful.

Hi Paul,
This issue has been addressed and corrected.

Thank you for your input. Please keep the comments coming. Both positive and not so positive.

It's the only way we get better.

Thanks...Larry
