Default Performance Model Aviation & classic planes

Greetings all.
Well since there is a buzz of what’s going on here it goes…..

Yes I did buy all of the molds for the classic pattern planes as well as a 2 meter design from PAC !

I’m in the middle of redoing the shop for production of these planes and I’m sorting thru all the mold and seeing what is what, some are missing parts and I’m locating kits to make new parts from.

Also I have all the plans and files from PAC and it is interesting to go thru the plans and see how things have been changed so I’m trying to get all the current set of plans scanned and copied so they are ready to go.

I will be talking to a foam cutter again to handle the cores while I work on getting the planes started with hopes of buying the CNC machine at some point.

We will be offering the plans, glass work, cores, and original instructions and any other info. We will also be working on the new PMA website with these planes as well as replacement parts.

I will make a list available soon…. I know you have been hearing this, but please understand there are some other personal things going on also.
I will say the month of September and October will be busy for me with my wife returning from deployment and then she ships out again to Germany in October.

I can tell you this I have the Desire 60 & 120 as well as the LA-1 and LA-2 among several of the Conquest series and a bunch of others... If you’re looking for replacement parts or plans right now just ask and let me see what we can do for you. I’m planning on being in FL in November for the CPA ( Classic Pattern Association) / AMA contest and hope to have several kits ready for sale there along with on line.

There are many planes and right now the next process is to see what ones to start with and I have my idea’s but they may be different than yours, so if there are any planes you’re looking for right away just email me [email protected] and I will let you know if I have that plane or who does and we can go from there.

It has been a lot slower process than I thought it was going to be and hope all will understand I don’t want to put out a bad product.

Also “Thank You” to those supporting the Classic Pattern Association
