Chuck shall build no airplane, before it's time.

He's probably waiting for all of you current Seduction pilots to crash yours, then he can fly his with a big "wish you still had yours" smile.

Chuck,
Why exactly have you not built the freestyle?!?!?!?!?
Do you plan on waiting till they are antiques??

No particular reason...I have a great many un-built kits, both current and vintage. I just hope to not die tomorrow so I'll have time to get around to finishing them all.

As for the Seductions, one of them is an Ono Special..no longer produced. Would you consider it a collectors item?? I don't. I'll build it first. As for the other, I've been considering making it electric powered. The recent advances in electric motors and batteries has made this a lot more appealing.

BRW like to give me grief because he says "I won't" build them. I say "I haven't built them yet".

Thanks for all your concers over my building schedule, but I have a handle on it just the same.

TailTwister...you got that right!!

Called MRC
 
well as I stated b4 I ordered my Wildstyle from MRC last Monday. Come to find out today only after I called them to see what the hold up was on getting the kit. I was told the kit is on backorder until Sep-Oct timeframe. Information i could have used a day or two after I ordered the kit, then I would only have about 4 days left to wait for it to arrive from Singapore hobbies. Now as it stands I will place my order with Singapore hobbies and have to wait another 11 days or so. i need something to start building fast I am sooo bored.

I think you will be very surprised at how fast the Wildstyle will reach you from Singapore Hobbies. I was told that it would arrive 10-14 days after i ordered. It only took 7!!! That is about as fast as Tower to my location. Both times i ordered it was in the mail on the first business day after I ordered.

While you are waiting you should go buy all the required materials like covering etc...Should speed up your build, and keep you a little busy, for about half a day.

Make sure you post a flight report on the Forum because I don't think there are that many on the forum regarding the Wildstyle. I for one am interested. I had a Freestyle and am building another and hopefully during winter i can have the Wildstyle. Both Seductions shredding the sky and scaring the crap out of onlookers, beautiful!!!!!!

BTW I envy you for living in San Diego!!!!

I've seen the report by jon595, but i always want more than one. It looks like the wildstyle does not have the thick airfoil or huge wing area most 3d planes have so it appears that it gets its 3d performance from the very very light weight. Probably would be a better all around performer than those flying kites.

My brother is going to be stationed there next spring as he is building a Destroyer. I think i might visit a couple of times!!! Right now he is in Missicrappy, sorry if I offend.

Backwards!!
 
Shadowspring,
The FS gets its 3D flight envelope from it's light weight and enlarged tail surfaces, WS was a total redesign with it's lighter weight and much thicker wing w/huge ailerons. If you have seen both you will be able to tell a WS's wing would never be confused with a pattern plane.

Yeah it definetly does not look like a pattern ships wing! I thought the airfoil was slimmer than some others out there, i don;t know why i am so curious about it, but i am. It is definetly more of an extreme 3d plane than the freestyle, that is why i want a wildstyle to complement my freestyle. I came to have a lot of respect for the design of the freestyle so i don't think i would buy anything other than a Seduction kit for a good while. I'm gonna start building my second freestyle today and am gonna try to get the weight down to 4 lb. Not sure if i can cut 1/4 lb off a superlight plane, but i will look into it.

It seems as if the Freestyle has generated much more interest than the Widstyle, so there is not that much info on it other than what you post. Maybe because it has not been around as long.

BTW thanks for the info you do provide!!!
