Also the V35 is available

id consider one but I am still waiting for my Stuka that was ordered via my LHS months ago. I know KMP sells the first batch themselves before they ship to the secondary vendors. Great for the bottom line but not so great for us that support the LHS, anyways ill digress! Nice looking birds eh?

Nice, but we need a Cherokee 140 or 180. Simple (and cheaper) fixed gear, flying stab, fat hersey bar wing, beautiful airplane almost never done before.

Im a fan of the 140 and the 180 as well, not having to deal with retarcts is nice but having them included in the kit is a big + for me. I dont mind installing them but sourcing the proper parts can sometimes be annoying. KMP's line is pretty complete so you wont lose too much time getting it together

Looks pretty good. A scale cockpit would set it off nicely.

yes it would, if the funds are there I might get the A36 for myself. Always wanted one for the longest time so this might be the oppurtunity

Anyone know if the wings are composite or built up and covered?

I bet the Top Flite cockpit kit can be made to fit it. Very similar sized models.

They look very nice!

But a Piper would would have been even better ;)

does the v-tail come with the tail stabilization modification or do you have to wait for the tail to blow off like the real one! LOL!

How do you purchase an A-36 ?

anonymouse 06-30-2007 03:25 PM

RE: KMP Beechcraft Bonanza's!
 
Go directly to KMP and buy there or check thier list of dealers to see if there is one close to you.......Maybe check with Tomas at VQWarbirds.com and see if he is going to carry, maybe not as it is not a warbird.

Hi Everyone.....
Yes, the planes are all composite.... including the wings, flaps and ailerons. :D

Cheers,

Usual KMP price? $1599:eek:

Wing tips are totally Wrong. Maybe you could chop them off and Use TF's I noticed they are going to re release the Top Flite Bonanza again. For the money,I think the wing tips should be scale.

RE: KMP Beechcraft Bonanza's!
 
I agree drdoom, in this price range exact scale is expected.

HI Diablo Kid:

Thanks for showing off the new Bonanza here. I would like to clarify something however.... Its absolutely not the case that we sell to the consumer public BEFORE selling to our dealers. Everyone has an equal opportunity to back-order the models at the same time. It seems however that the general public is much faster at responsding to ads we place in the magazines. As such it may appear that we sell more to the public when in fact overall its totally not the case. Anyhow, any consumer can walk into their LHS and pre-order the model through them with us.

Just my "two sence" from the manufacturer's stand point. Yes of course it helps the bottom line to sell direct but in no way do we say no to dealers to save a sale to the consumer public.

RE: KMP Beechcraft Bonanza's!
 
thanks for the clarification Andrew, no offense intended so im glad thats cleared up [sm=thumbs_up.gif]

Any thoughts on the wings getting sorted out for their scale appearance? I for one am not too concerned but it seems others might have a hard time dropping that many bills on these planes

RE: KMP Beechcraft Bonanza's!
 
is there a diference in th e flight between the v tail and the standard tail????

AKondor 10-25-2007 07:49 PM

RE: KMP Beechcraft Bonanza's!
 
Hi Guys:
I would love to see a top view of the wing tip of the real bird and compare it to ours. Had I'd known it was off from the full scale bird I would have gone back to the factory for a easy design change before going into production. Does anyone have a top view of the scale bird out there? I'll gladly bring it up with the factory.

RE: KMP Beechcraft Bonanza's!
 
Hi Nismoserspecv :

In the general the flying of the model there is little to know difference. It is much easier to side slip the standard tail version on landing. The V-Tail version has alomst identical stall characteristics so you have very little to worry about.
Personally I think the V-tail has the cool factor going for it and would be different from all the other models at the field.

I was looking thru some pics last nite, on airliners.net, and it appears there are at least 2 different tip shapes, and maybe more.
My Byrons V-35, and my Ramon Torres T-34C, kits both have the "square" tip, with nave lights caps on the the front.
