ORIGINAL: Bob...
hi everyone...just a quick question, can you inform me of a site or store that sells airplane kits, not arfs. i cant seem to find them anymore. ive been grounded for about 15 years, sort of voluntarily, and returned to a tower catalog filled with arfs. i like arfs, like that electric reactor bipe or one of the other gp's e performance volt suckers that i will purchase, eventually. but what i am looking for now is a larger ( 1.20- 1.80 size) nitro kit of maybe a yak, one of the extras (not a great planes kit), cap 232, edge 540, katana, or even a pitts python or the like. i have an ultimate bipe, carl g, a 60 sportster, and of course, the trainer from way back, i call him "patches". i built all of these and loved it. my friends have bought arfs which arf beautiful, minus some small defects to many, me the perfectionist, find them annoying. i need to kick back to a nice nitro or gas kit, or two, that i can winter down to. thanks for any leads (only quality kits please)
Ya, But "WHAT ABOUT BOB"????????
Hi, I have went through the same thing. I came back after about the same amount of time. Its like Rip Van what's his name, kind of thing. RCM is gone and that Gordy upstart is going strong, and thats a good thing.
I have keep my plans from all my kits, I guess I can go to scratch building if I can't get a SuperSprotster60 kit anymore.
Good luck, its great to be back.

PS the for sale areas on this and other sites may have some of the old Kits for sale. These are ones somes of us guys have saved over the years. Price may be high, but after buying balsa they may not be that high.
