Default RE: The old Royal kits

Royal kits had a great reputation, as long as you were a fairly experienced builder. I have been around a couple of the B-25s and they were excellent airplanes. Guy in our club had the kit up for sale some ten years ago for $100 and I have kicked myself ever since for not getting it.

I have also seen the Stuka take off and fly. But not land.......[] It was well built, but after several minutes the engine happened to quit prematurely, and it tip stalled about three times on the way down, on a fairly experienced pilot.
