Has anyone bought one of these lately? I was wondering if the same issues with shipping are still happening. Are people being charged extra by the shippers?

There's another thread on here about the same plane. I think it was started by Mr. DJ. Him and another guy talked about it early ion the thread about the extra cost incurred once the planes hit state side.

n8622t,
Can you give us a little background on your plane? You seem to be the only one that has one and has completed it. What was your experience with TMMY? How did the shipping work out for you? Any other suggestions for someone who might buy one. I would like to find one for sale state side perhaps. Thanks

Wonderful model. I'm considering this one for next year. What is the distance between the two motor shafts? Just wondering how far out from scale they positioned the engines.

Interesting, what is the measurement on the full scale?

tahustvedt

On the full size DC-3 the centre of the shafts is about 568 cm apart, or 223,4". This 1/8 scale model should have the motors about 70,9 cm, or 27,9" apart if it's accurate. It's quite obvious in photos that it's way more than that. The wingspan is too long compared to the length as well. It would be easy to change though as the centre wing section is constant chord.

This high resolution drawing is great for checking measurements:
