This might not be for everyone, but I always find places to use it. For example, I have/had 4 Kolibri engines. Sounds like plenty but two are in for upgrades, one are just sold with my Swist and one is at the moment used for flight testing of the Ready2fly Yak130 convertion. So I need a dummy for my on going projects.

My local hobbyshop use my dummys when making the convertion kits for foamies. They just can't take a P20 or Kolibri of the shelf, wrap it in plastic as it's not theirs, it's new items for customers.

I just sent one to Vasa model to adjust his new "Victory" high end fiberglass speedster for the P20 too.

So still alot of use - still alot of people finding other ways




This might be overdoing it though
