RE: ZNLine Supreme building questions
Central Hobbies imports them.
They are complete with the CF nomex parts and all the CF former components.
Price is $1198 USD from Central
By the way the ZN price on the website is 965 Euro and this is $1198 USD...SO Central is getting a good deal on the models and passing it along to us.....The shipping I have looked into approaches $300-400 USD from France to the USA.
Shipping to me was $88 per kit from Montana to Phx, AZ. Airborne Express.
I know Central has some kits available from this latest shipment. I think they have a Supreme, Hydeaway, and a Synergy and a Synergy 90 3D.
These are the best kits on the market. Just a rough idea for all you guys than want to know the difference. The fuse, long belly pan (41" to use the right 2 stroke pipe), Canopy frame all combined on this very large model is only 26ozs. This is lighter than other kits on the market even those that are the TAVS or CF construction on smaller models from domestic US sources.
The servo tray included was an option on earlier kits and still an option direct from ZN...they are around $85 option but come with the Central Kits standard. I just weighed the tray....25g It holds the tank, elev, rudder servos, battery pack and RX...
Oh another thing on the Supreme the wing tube is already installed in the fuse. As stated about alignment is already done on this important part of the model. Not sure on the Hydeaway. All the wood is included and the other wood-CF parts are supplied. CF wing tube with FG sockets. By the way all the balsa is super light stuff and perfect for use. Nothing needs to be replaced in the kit.
I have built many ZN kits in the past (My Supremes will be 6 and 7). I even flew my Hydeaway to 3rd place at the 2003 US NATS in F3A right behind Chip Hyde and Don Sczur.
In the past year I have built several models, Temptation, CA models Eclipse, PL Prod Flashdance, and a Phenom.
These kits all had good qualities but the ZN kits stand head and shoulders above them in both engineering and quality of the kit.
The comment has been made you get what you pay for...and the ZN models are all the absolute best in quality and flight performance I have found. They make building the model so much easier and more fun. And I have yet to find one of the ZN kits that had poor flight qualities.
