Thanks Jim, but he doesn't list any planes or plans.

KIT has not had kits or engines for quite some time The Viko's or similar are available from Tom Siegler, though I don't know if there is a minimum order from him or not.

Brodak has a similar model that also comes as an ARF called the Gladiator:

Don't know about plans for any of them. If you just want a good flying 1/2A combat wing for a TD or Norvel, check into a CoreHouse L'il Hacker - all foam and you get a double kit.

the lil hackers fly great. i also have a gladator from brodak it is a lot tail heavy with a norvel .049 and i have yet to fix the balance to see if i can fly the thing.

What lenght lines do you fly the Li'l Hacker on?

If you just want plans, try this guy.

All the Russian ARF's are tail heavy with anything lighter than a Cyclon. They don't come with motor mounts, and the ones that you can get are too short anyway so we end up making our own that put a Norvel or VA 1 1/2 to 2 inches in front of the LE.

It will fly on 42' (for competition) if you have enough engine - a really hot Norvel or a VA or better. I would start on 35' if just sport flying and then if you feel like it's too fast or just want to try the longer ones you can move out to 42'.

This summer, I scratch built a "Combat Cat" replica and scaled it for a Cox .049 to teach my 8 year old son ( And myself again.. ) how to fly C/L

If you want to go "On the cheap" that plane could be duplicated for about $12.00 of wood, $9.00 of covering, and about $8.00 worth of hardware (Add the Engine of your choice)
Unlike the old 1/2A kits like "Combat Kitten" or "Lil' Satan" this one is designed with the latest ideas in mind: Over 240 square inches, really light build (Under 10 oz), Carbon, etc. It has that vintage look but it turns on a dime and fly more like the contemporary combat planes

We fly it with 25ft Dacron lines it's a bit short but it fits our backyard and keeps things interesting as it screams around that little circle no matter what prop we use !

See all the details and Video on my post: [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_8830479/anchors_9032371/mpage_3/key_/anchor/tm.htm#9032371]My Combat Cat Post [/link]

After a fair amount of experimentation, it's a Hot flyer on an APC 5.7 X 3 or a Cox 5 X 3 or 5 x 4 and mild but still responsive with an "Unbreakable" Cox 6 X 3

Also, with the lightweight and Carbon re-enforced engine mounts it will do a full speed dive into the grass with no damage whatsoever..

Here's what it looks like
