Ok this is what I can think of off the top of my head, and I am sure there are more out there. Of course you have all the Cubs out there and you can modify them or you can buy kits for the L-4 also, and you can modify the J-3 to become a clipped wing cub. Wendell Hostetler makes plans for a PA-15 Vagabond. Ikon N'wst makes a Super Cub and a Tri-Pacer, which you could also convert to a Pacer. Jack Stafford Models has a Commanche and a Twin Commanche. Model Airplane News has plans for a Seneca and may have some for a PA-28 also. Hanger 9 makes a Charokee arf. Someone makes a 1/2A charokee also. I can't think of any others off the top of my head, but If I think of one I will let you know. What aircraft are you intrested in? Do you want a Charokee or something similar or are you looking for an older piper model?

Too damn many!
That goes for P51's also.

Notice how popular the Cessna 172 by GP/Top Flite/whoever is? I would bet a dozen donuts a Piper Archer or even a Cruiser would go over just as well - if not better.

I'd love to see an IMAA legal Cherokee kit available....anyone know of any?

Every company I know has a Cub kit in any size you want!

It' like looking for a P-51 or Corsair, they all have them in any price range you want!

Open any magazine or give Tower a call, they have several in all sizes and price range.

Tailskid I agree with that. Someone should just make a Pa-28 kit with the long tapered wing you could make it a Pa-28-151, 161, 181, R-201, 201T, or a 236 with very little modifacation. Or with the short hershey bar wing and make it a Pa28-140, 150, 160, 180, R-200, or a 235. Someone should definately look into this as I bet it would be a great seller.

What someone needs to do is offer a .60 or 1.20 sized "ALASKAN PA-18 Super Cub" I'm not talkin about a pretty little plane with itsy bitsy tires. I'm talkin about a 100% True to Life SuperCub. With the 180hp cowling, large tundra tires ect. Heck, if they offered it in a ARF and in a 1.20 size, they could even go as far as giving the plane a more scale look with large strips of scale "SuperCub Tape" (duct tape for you "non-Alaskans") to repair tears in the airplane from hiting that small bush on final aproach to a sand bar. That would be great.

BTW I spent 19 years growing up in Alaska just north of anchorage. Moved to Colorado when I was 19.

There's a guy on here from AK...I think his name is Mike_James or something. He'll know what I'm talkin about.

Airsail do a nice scale Piper Tomahawk (with the "T" tail) kit -

72" span.

Mantua has a IMAA size Arrow.

Aviomodelli makes a PIPER ARROW which is IMAA legal.

The U.S. importer is Internet-RC and the website is www.Internet-RC.com

I am looking for a .40-.60 PA28

I have only found a couple "Cherokees" that really grab me. The nicest one I remember was made by EZ. . . way back when.

Anyone know of a nice one??
That Italian Arrow isn't bad. . but I am not partial to the paint.
Thanks,
Brett

hanger 9 has the super cub arf

Dynamic Balsa has a big Cherokee kit. 1/3 Scale with a 10' wing. I have had one sitting in my basement for a few years now. I'll get to it one of these days....
