There is one of these kits up for sale on eBay if anyone is looking for one.

Hey Vince!
Totally awesome effort and very convincing! Question, how did you make the bezels for the instruments and what size are the screws? Inquiring minds.....Thanks!

I hope he hasn't had any complications from his hernia surgery! I hope he has been too busy flying to bother with the likes of us!
It is worrisome he hasn't been on since April.

I have to agree, April 14th was a long time ago and to not see anything from him is worrisome, or worse.

Hey there, wanted to let everyone know Vince is alive and well. I just saw him today (along with the Bonanza ) at our club show and tell. As he'd mentioned, he had a medical procedure which went just fine, but then he bought a new house and had to sell and move in a short amount of time. All of that while also working has had him out straight. I told him the crowd here was getting worried and I'd send out this note to put all at ease. I imagine we'll see him back on the thread pretty soon.

Thanks for the update, Tim. Just curious, was the Bonanza airborne?

The Bonanza hadn't been flown yet and was not flown at our show and tell. Our field is in a bowl of high trees, so doubt it'll ever fly there. I'll have to let Vince talk to future flight plans.

Hello Guys,

I just managed to find a Bonanza kit but I just discovered that the plans and manual are missing once I got home! I’ve been able to find the manual online, does anyone have a set of plans they would be willing to part with? I don’t mind printing if anyone has a digital copy.



thank you,

Ken

Does not look like Outerzone free plans has the plans either.

For printing plans, search for HemiKiller in RCG. He could have a digital copy, but he does not advertise that he does have a library of plans.

No problem, I have the 182 in pdf and I’ll dig up my copy of the Stinson. I have the Stinson in CAD and I’m sure I still have the PDF’s, I’ll post DWG’s and PDF’s sometime over the weekend.

Default Top Flite Stinson

Hello Guys,

A little late but as promised.... Top Flite Stinson, PDF & DWG format if you want to laser cut a kit. The notes on the die-cut sheets are out of position but that's what you get for free!

Hey Vince, how is the recovery coming along? I hope SWMBO didn't take you out back like Ole Yellar!

OK I discovered Carolina Custom Kits has a couple of redoing Top Flite designs. The price may hurt a bit then again compared to what the remaining TF kits are going for maybe not.

I love the plug-in wing design, I should sell my TF kit and buy one of these.
