I am building the Giant Flyin' King right now. All major components are finished and I am working on engine mounting. It will be powered by a Brisson 4.8 twin. I am having to make a modification to the basic firewall design to get it in.

I am building it with removable tail assembly. The servos for the elevators will come off with the horizontal stab and vertical stab. The rudder will be pull-pull with the servo mounted in the fuselage. I added a lite-ply doubler in the tail area. I am building a tail restraint into the tail, as Bruce shows in the plans book. I am also building a hard point into the the rear cabin top for towing gliders.

It has a bomb bay built into the bottom of the cabin area for a candy drop. It will also have a drop mechanism for my RC skydiver, a port for a camera in the side. The wheels that Bruce provides are 7" DuBro's. I built hard points into the rear cabin bottom for floats which I hope Bruce designs this summer. The kit builds fast and has the best wood I have ever seen in a kit. You get lot of wood!! I am in the process of carving the STOL wingtip blocks.

I am using Hitec 700 and 705 servos on all surfaces. Control will be via JR 10SX PCM with two receivers, JR Matchboxes and a JR G460T gyro to be used on the rudder to assist takeoff.

I am covering it with Neslon Dacron fabric and latex paint.

I'll be happy to answer any questions about the kit. You can leave a reply here, or contact me with a PM at [email protected].
