Not sure if this is the proper place to look for direction in this, but hey, it can't hurt. I recently did a school project on the Hughes H-1 racer and have basically fallen in love with the plane. So, now I ask you, is the a kit in production for the H-1? Thanks for the help!

Not that I am aware of. You will most likely need to get a set of plans and go from there.
Once you have a set of plans you can have a "short kit" cut for you. There are several kit cutters out there, or you can make your own short kit.
If you are not familiar with a short kit, it is all your curved pieces (ribs, fuselage formers, etc. ). You need to add the straight wood, sheeting (if used ), landing gear, windshield, cowl, etc.

I've been putting in a request to top flite once a week for some time but I'll never hear from them.
The only way you'll get one right now is from plans
and a kit cuttering service. course you'll either have to find a sourse for a cowl or fabricate your own. right how a guy in our club has purchased fiberglass secalist out of OR and moving it down here to CA. I'll be getting with him in the next few month since it not a matter of if but when I get around to ordering and building mine. I'm not sure of your flight experiance but these are not begginer kits to build or fly. It's pretty big too
