Dear sirs, just wanted to post pics of the actual fiberglass parts and clear canopy, before they are shipped to my patient fellows .
Arrow indicates the panel line, unfortunately not good to see on this photo.

Excellent work Chris. I look forwad to seeing the finished Val and wish you much success with the design. I've had a number of requests from modelers to draw up plans for one of these. It seems to be a very popular subject with very few options for the builder so I think you may have a winner on your hands. You certainly won't have much in the way of competition!

We're cutting a bunch of quarterscale Aichi Kits in early 2014. If somebody's interested, please let me know. Complete new 100% design since I have switched Software.
For this scale I am providing kit and plans only, while cowling, canopy and wheel pants have to be setup be yourself BUT since there's already 2 people who want to setup those moulds, there's a serious chance to orders those as well.

Moki 150 will fit.

Quarterscale englargement is done, please let me know if you're interested in building a kit:

wingspan is 3590mm (3 piece wing)
length 2546mm

Moki 150 does fit perfectly under the cowl.
100% wood construction aiming for lightweight and low wingload

Fiberglass and other accessories might be ordered from the other prototype builder in the US.

Complete new 3D design, even more close and therefore better than the 1/6th design.
Wing fairing shape as well as fairing of elevator und rudder are included to former section,horizontal stabilizer is designed for 3 three piece, might change it depending on your car size.

Hi guys,

I have to post a big SORRY. I had several messages without being notified about them. Some settings we not set correct. Haven't been here for a while, so I wanted to say Hi again, the 1/6th and 1/4th scale are available.

The accessories for the 1/4th will be prepared by an american mate who is building the first prototype.

To avoid delays of answering your mails again, please use the email provided in my profile here.

Thanks a lot!
Christopher

Dear sirs,

I recently took my own cnc into service and did a test cut on the 1/6th val kit, which I would give away with a one-time 10% discount.

Please mail me if you're interested.

Best,
Christopher
