Just found this thread.
, I had one of the first PCM 8 channel radios, but my favorite was the 1/3.7 Christen Eagle...we had the OS twin in it, cost us about $200 USD!
1.6 Christen Eagle I....an AWEOME PERFORMER
I loved those kits, and its a shame they do not come back in some way or form. I know there was a guy in the 90's collecting them in NY. He had them all, even some rare ones like a PT-19. I had the chance to see the visit some hobby shops in Japan but I couldn't find any.
The 1/3 scale eagle cost almost $1000.00 retail back then. [X(] I stumbled on a NIB 1/3 scale EZ eagle about 3 years ago and only paid $350.00. The lady that was selling it had no idea what she had. I offered more, but she did'nt want it. The kit boxes were still sealed from the OK factory, and these boxes were in another set of factory shipping boxs that was still sealed. I still can't believe I found one in that condition. I'm still saving it for a special time, but I'm gonna fly her one day. I have a NIB OS 300 twin ready to be mounted in her as well. I could still kick myself for selling off alot of my EZ and Pilot kits collection several years back. I wish I still had them.
