Hi Jorgeneo560, thanks for the interest. This plane is currently being molded to be produced as a fully composite racer. I will have some flying this summer, but there are a few vendors who sell Q40 planes out there. look here [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_7660237/tm.htm]http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_7660237/tm.htm[/link] Dave Norman has a very good list with links to people who offer Q 40 planes. You are correct, no hobby shops carry them because most come pre-painted in the molds with the pilots scheme & racing numbers on them. Therefor, they are pretty much custom made. I would go to some of the links he has there, and look at one of them. I still got a testing season and final design approvals to get thru!
Best wishes
