I bought one of the Hobby Lobby Graupner Kwik-Fli Mk III's

I haven't assembled it yet but it very well built.
I think Hobby Lobby can order the retracts as well.

I have a Graupner Kwick Fly ARF available from Hobby Lobby. It's a great airplane! Beautiful construction, fit & finish are excellent. When I first got it I thought it was smaller than the orginal however I have a full size set of plans from the TF kit I built in the 60's and guess what it's the real thing, just smaller than I remember. It flys great. I powered it with an OS 50 FX and it's perfect power for the airplane. Graupner did a nice job of reproducing this classic airplane. They even include plastic wheel wells if you want to install retracts however I built mine with fix'ed gear to stay true to the orginal.

RE: Phil Kraft Quik-Fli
Here's my Graupner Kwik-Fli, which was built about five years ago. My wife enlisted a good friend to build it for me for our anniversary.
It's been in the hangar due to my last OS GoldHead giving up the ghost.
I just recently had a friend machine a new radial mount to fit the OS 55AX and had her back in the air last weekend. She still flys great!
The 55AX is quite a bit more power than the Goldhead ever was. I'm running a 12-6 prop and this seems ideal.
