I'm building 2 at the moment. The kits go together quite well. Overall I am impressed with the fit of everything. One will have the Moki 215 and the other will have a 250.

Hi David,

Yes ,as Bill has said they go together very well,they are not 100% scale but must be one of the best Flying Birds out there.

I have another build thread on the Airworld 190 wich I will finish soon,in this one I have been doing all the mods,and makes a great differnce.

As I have said to Bill I will get ALi's fuselage and put it against my one to see the differnce,I will get some Pics

Here's my last winter project.

RCS 215 radial already installed, although removed here for the paint job. Purrs like an angry kitten.

I hear the new RCS 150 has plenty of power to fly it and it would certainly fit a lot easier in the cowl (1" clearance rather than 1/4")

Sierra gear.

Flaps installed, although by the time I got done with 'em, I wished I'd followed AirWorld's advice and not done it.

Custom finish by Mike and Chuck in Joliet. Phenomenal. Looks even better in person than it does here. No graphics. All stencils.

I agree the basic configuration is somewhat short of scale, but I'm happy to trade that for what I hear are excellent flight characteristics. I just watched Dino fly his to perfection at Top Gun and it was a real inspiration.

All I have to do now is put in the cockpit and the canopy and find the cojones to fly it.

Wish me luck.

Hi Kram,

She looks great,I would stick with the 215,perfect engine and plane combo,what cockpit kit are you going to fit????

Ali has put me off now on the 215 for the XXL,he has mentioned about squeezing the new 400 in her,you will never guess what it will fit!!!!! out of my price range though[]

I hate to admit it, but I can't remember the source name of my cockpit. It's been a year or more. From Germany. Maybe he'll chime in here.

It is gorgeous, cost about $400 U.S. assembled, but didn't come with the armored head rest. May have to make one of those for myself.

The cockpit kit is so pretty, I've considered flight-testing the plane before I install it. Who knows, might not fly right that way, eh?

I watched Dino fly his 190 at Warbirds over Delaware last year and the plane was awsome. It just begs the question as to why the designers fell short of making the plane more scale? Not complaining just wondering?

I built this one! It went together well and has had well over 600 flights.
