RE: Kits GP should reissue
There are some really good choices in this list. As someone has stated, if this reissue of the Ultrasports and the Super Sportsters goes well... maybe, just maybe, more will come our way. If you want this to happen, buy an UltraSport or Super Sportster kit.
I will add to my original list:
Ultra Sport 1000 Kit - GPMA0425
Tomahawk Giant Scale
Big Stick .20, .40, .60
Sportster .20
Cherokee .40
Sportster 40 Bipe kit
Giant Aeromaster kit
Super Sportster 90/120 kit
And heck yes, the PROP JETS! I loved building the f-14. Still flying great as ever.
One thing though. If they do reissue I suggest a few things:
1. Choose wood for the kits that is exceptional. These planes are outstanding when built light, but honestly these kits were always FAR to heavy because of the wood choices. I for one would pay a bit more to have carefully selected wood so that the kits are light.
2. LASER cut parts would be phenominal. This would allow some of these parts to be cut from lighter wood as well.
3. Fiberglass rather than plastic parts. I would be happy to have these as Optional extras. This would keep down kit cost and provide an additional source of revenue for Great Planes.
One final thought is that maybe GP could allow kit cutters to handle these designs and just get a royalty payment. Just a thought on a way to help get these designs available once again.
Just my thoughts, what do others think?
