Hello Rune,

I got your PM, thanks. I wonder that guys here recall me posting a pic of that Skymaster kit... seems we all here are really nuts about those classical pattern planes, kits, etc.

In my inventory is a Skymaster 40 kit - sorry no 60 size.

I was lucky to buy it from an older gentleman who had closed his RC hobby shop several years before I met him. He lived in a city in germany with many US army barracks, still today many US soldiers are based there. I am pretty sure he told me that he traded that kit in from an US soldier, maybe in the late 70´s, and never sold it further.

Interestingly, another guy here asked me around november last year if I could do a plans copy of that Skymaster 40 for him. Before that, this kit slept well for many years without being touched. Stupidly, I got only one plans copy done, now I need to do one more for you, if you like. Just let me know. By the way, Fuji 60 plans copy would be available, too.

Monday afternoon I maidened a Jaguar, built up from an old, quite cheaply made ARF kit, manufacturer was Super Flying Models ( ). That may be off topic, but it is powered by one really old, but very well running Enya 60X with pipe, and the plane really hauls. Behaves much like a pattern plane of the classical area. Wonderful cuban eights, slow rolls, and laaarge loops.
