RE: KMP P-38
They havn`t fixed the elevator issue, so it still needs 6mm og down to fly level. At least they have been honest and written it in the manual [8D]
The plane looks exelent.....The fiberglass is very firm, and feels very strong. Maybe a little heavy, but you cant have both can you :-)

RE: KMP P-38
only the outer wing panels are removable.
it looks like I have to glue the aluminium tube into the fuselage-innerwing-and booms........ that means the wing tubes will also stick out.
Ill have to study it further :-)

RE: KMP P-38
I have the older KMP P-38 and all I can say is your version looks great, the retracts were a big problem and yours look great, I like the way they did the flaps on yours, I hope they fixed all the other little problems too!!!

RE: KMP P-38
It could be the angle of the picture but it appears that the taper on the wing is wider than it should be on a P-38.
This isn't a criticism of the manufacturer: but from previous web descussions of how nice the plane flies,
this could be the reason.
It kind of looks like a cross between a P-38 and a mustang.
Hey, I'll take a wider wing if it flies better: most pilots wouldn't notice that at the field anyway(especially not in the air)!
P-38's are hard to fly anyway and we'll take any advantage we can get.
(we're out there to have fun)
Looks like there's some nice panel lines on the fuse.

RE: KMP P-38
Actually, Bill, one engine out on the KMP P-38 isn't that bad. With all the problems it had it actually flys really well. The biggest problem is trusting the crappy retracts.
