MK Blue Angel 60 kit is extremely rare these days. It would be kÃ*nd of sad to build the actual kit when it is so rare. But I hope You will get it built (or built from copies if the balsa/ply in the kit) by some good builder. It is one of my favorite classic pattern planes. I have Carolina Custom Aircraft short kit of Blue Angel 60 and that is fine also.

Good Call on the short kit bem.
These kits are selling solidly at about $300, just they way you presently have it and in these hard financial times. They can go, without surprize to the members here, up to $500 and over. Reason isn't only because they are not around, but because they are awsome kits to BUILD. The design is great, but the enginering in the kit just makes it so much fun to build. If all you're looking for is a Built flying Blue Angel, the short kit Is logical. If you're looking for a classic pattern plane to fly and not neccesarily a Blue Angel, there are some out there available RTF from individuals. Just gotta keep looking in the classifieds here.
Singapore Hobbies in China, who has the only listing of old MK kits (even though there not available) had a built 60 size MK plane (I'm pretty sure it was a BA but not certain) now that was listed over $2000.
Good deals are around. My MK Aurora in my avatar came built w/ a Hanno, matching pipe, installed radio gear and the transmitter for $450. I just had to look 10 years til I ran across one! (Thanks again for the lead Chuck!) The first day @ the field someone offered me $1500 for it. turned them down.
