I would presume they are factory photos sent to Mike Greenshields, product manager for Hobby People. So yeah.

That is GREAT. LOVE the 188 scheme. The lines look to be fairly accurate as well. I sure hope they come in soon. Its been listed on their site for quite a long time now.

Yeah, I hear ya! I have several models from VQ bookmarked in my wishlist on HP and they still don't have any photos up and I have been following them since the day they were announced on HP's website.

Looks like both kits are in stock. Just ordered an Ag Wagon! I've got a RCG 20 or a Zenoah 20 gasser for it. Haven't decided. I'd like to use the DLE in another plane though so we'll have to see how well the cowl swallows the Zenoah. Another option I have is a Saito FG-14b(.82) but I don't think it will be enough. Won't really know 'til the kit comes in as there are zero specs I could find anywhere for this plane.

Looks like they have two Beavers. A 30cc size and a .46 EP/GP size. The description for the .46 is military colors so I'm thinking the twitpic in the first post is for that one.

Has anybody actually got one? Opened the box? Wonder if a 26 cc rear carb SV / RcGF will work on it?<div>We have a couple of  RC Guys , pretty expensive, but good flying models tho..</div><div>

Saw this picture on [link=http://www.pichler.de/shop/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=1423]Pichler's model site[/link]...It says it is the larger 30cc 2850mm (108 inch) WS model, but the pic is identical to the .46 one listed on the same page-even has an electric motor up front. The 30cc Pc-6 on their website is a pic of the .46 size version as well... the 30cc version is much more detailed, so I hope the 30cc Beaver is as well...

The Rocky/Bullwinkle livery is, uh, different




At least it is modeled after the real thing:

The Agwagon kit I ordered came in today! WoooHooo.....!

I was a little shocked when I saw the box top. I was thinking "What the Heck!......you gotta be kidding me. If that's whats in the box I'm gonna raise all kinds of bloody get-out with Hobby People" The pic on the box shows a markings scheme that I was not going to be impressed with. Not to mention it looks like the cowl is a different shade of white. BUT..... alls well. Inside the box is a nice looking color scheme. I didn't have a chance to break it all out but I did snap a pic for you all that are interested in this kit. I snapped a close-up of the specs listed on the box.

The cowl "looks" big enough to stuff the Zenoah G20 I'd like to use with minimal cutting but we'll see. First glance says the motor box will need beefing up.

Looks like the 30cc Beaver is Military Livery as well [&o] Too bad they used the same picture for the 30cc size as the .46 size-I'd really like to see what it REALLY looks like. Guess I'll have to wait until some brave soul purchases it and post pictures. Hopefully the V2 will be a civilian one.

Cheers,
Steve

Yeah, I'd be interested in the Beav but not in the military scheme. I have the Eflite Beaver and love it! I suck at covering so a recover isn't my first choice...

Not too many folks interested in these I guess...Hobby People doesn't seem to be either-they haven't posted any good specs on the plane(s) since the release. A pity really...[]

Cheers,
Steve

Hi all, i did get one of the 112" beavers in army colors, plane seems to be constructed quiet well, firewall is ~3/8" thick and capable of supporting 50cc engine, 3W48 fits in to the cowl quiet nicely, there is ~6 in space (depth) for the engine, total kit wight is 12.9lb that would suggest to me final weight of about 20lb not as indicated on the box 14lb.
I originally purchased it for sailplane tug and belief it will do the job nicely.
