Just got this kit from Singapore Hobbies, and had to rave about it. It's the most beautifully finished kit I've ever seen (and I've build over 20 kits). The balsa is first class, and every profile, angle and rebate is already put in place. How about this, the wing sheeting is already cut to size with correct angles for joining.

I wasn't going to build this straight away (it was a replacement for an old Cosmo Glint that died of old age) but couldn't stop myself building it. Wing, stab and fin are now framed up (only 2 nights work, and that's using aliphatic (slower than CA)).

Any one else have experience with these kits. The design is very refined, should be a neat little practice plane for pattern. I had a TT 36 Pro that I was going to fit, but I've decided to put in a new Irvine .39 (bit more power, as the Glint was a little underpowered for good knife edge etc).

I'm definately an MK fan now. The kit was very reasonably priced, and the service from Singapore was excellent. We don't get many options for kits in Australia, so this is a good find.

Steve,
I built one of these almost 12 years ago and still have it! I converted it to tail dragger and installed an OS. 25 VF. I mounted the aileron servo upright which makes things quite tight in the fuse when using full size servos. I did this so I could open up the belly pan/wing fairing and ran the tuned pipe exposed but buried in the belly pan. The model flies quite fast but wont quite hold knife edge This more than likely could be worked out by moving the CG back a bit but I never got around to it before I doinked a landing, broke the fuse in half and mothballed it. I'll get around to putting it back in the air some day since it flies too good to just let it sit in the corner.

I remember seeing this kit a long time ago. Looked really pretty and I wanted one. In fact, there were a bunch of MK kits I wanted and as I recall they all got good reviews.
