Trying to find planes in the US
 
I've picked up a couple older RC Model World magazines, 2005 vintage and there are a couple reviews on planes that I can't seem to find here in the US.

The first is Mini Show Flyer by Graupner. The second is the Xtreme by Top Gun.

Does anyone have a source for either in the US?

OR, are either marketed in the US under a different name?

Thanks,
Don

Graupner and Hobby Lobby are are like Pete and Repete. If it's in the US they will have it. However . . . .
"The Graupner Showflyer 3D glow engine model airplane is no longer available from Hobby Lobby."

Looked on the internet. There's plenty in England and Germany

It turns out that the showflyer that Hobby Lobby sold is a 60 size. The one in RC Model World was at 40 size. I did find one of the 60 sized ones at New Creations -RC. I've got to think about that as I really wanted to use my Mag 52 four stroke on it. The 60 size has a more pleasing covering scheme though.

I think if I were to go for one in the 60 size, it would be the Xtreme.

Thanks for the lead though.

Don
