Default Poll for MK classic pattern planes

Guys,
I tried to put a poll on here but for some reason it was placed in the electric pattern forum. Please go there and vote for whichever MK classic pattern plane you'd to see brought back into production. If we get enough votes I can write to MK and see if maybe we can convice them to make a limited run of them!!

That should be a no brainer, the Curare, #1, hands down. Good luck trying to get in touch with MK too!

It wasn't on the list but I would love to see the Magic 60 re-released.

My vote for the Aurora and/or Cosmos....although these 2 designs might not be considered classics.

Hey Guys,
I have a couple MK kits that I'm willing to copy the plans for anyone interested. All I ask for is the cost from Kinkos and the mailing fee.
If other people out there are willing to do the same, we could have a pretty good supply to choose from

I have:
60 Atlas
60 Thunderbird
40 Magic
20 Skymaster

I my also get a Yoshioka Ursa Major this weekend!

Not so fast with that "no brainer" stuff.

Yes, the Curare is better known, but personally I'd like to see the SBA, (Blue Angel). I had one once, and it is a beautiful/nice handling plane to fly. If anyonehas doubts about its popularity, just look at the Blue Angel Build thread, which has ben going strong for months.

Who owns the rights to these kits, or can someone else bring out a kit/kits if they want to. A fiberglass/foam version would be great as well since it would save a lot of sanding.

I tried, maybe I'm too new at this, but I can't find the "poll", either here or the Elecrtric Pattern forum. How do you get there, and can it be moved here?

In the meantime--I like the Blue Angel(SBA)

Hi kingaltair,
The poll is on page 2 of this forum now.

I've tried to email Mk but no luck so far. I did write to Singapore hobbies and ask them if they could forward the poll to Mk. I haven't heard back that they will, but also haven't heard back that they won't. Hopefully the message gets through to MK. If any of you other guys want to try and write to them please do, and I'm sure a lot of you probably already have so far anyway.

I just missed getting a NIB MK Arrow 40 on ebay, got to $195.00 and ran out of time..

I would like to have a copy of the Magic 40 plans.

Are the other 3 models you listed, eg.

60 Atlas
60 Thunderbird
20 Skymaster

all Mk models?

I found a MK Cosmos 60 still in the box. I am gonna finish building it soon. Do you guys know how this plane flies? Looks great so far. One problem, the bell pan is missing. Any body know what I could do? I tried e-mail to Singapore Hobbies. No reply. Maybe I should write them. Thanks

Ranc68, Singapore Hobbies should have Cosmos 60 belly pans in stock as I bought one about 6 months ago. Try e-mailing them again.
