Default AKM models...OK!

I bought a .45 size Sukhoi 26 lazer cut kit on ebay at a good price. The lazer cutting is quite good. The design has a small parts count and simple structure but is very rigid. If it flys as well as it looks I will be lookiing for more AKM models. He seems to specialize in Russian aircraft.

Default Alex K. used to post here a lot..........

I think his kit business has taken off (so to speak). I bought a Mig 29 kit and was extremely impressed. His last name is Koslonov (well close to that), so Russian planes might be second nature. Anyway, I've done probably 8 deals with him over the last couple of years and every one was great.

Dittos to what Warjet says. Great kits. Can't wait for the release of the SU-27.

I don't mind all the Russian planes. Too many Mustangs at the flying fields anyway.

That Mirage video kicks butt! I had no idea those electric DF were that efficient (I fly electric gliders).

Does your A-10 fly like that on electric too?

Default A-10

Don, the A-10 does pretty well but of course different style of flying more scale like.

E-power has come along way and I'm mostly a ic kind of flyer but the little electrics do kick some butt now and then.

Thanks,

I have been correspodning with Alex for a couple of years now. He is a clas act and knows aircraft design. He will not sell a kit unless it is something he has flown and perfected. I have a set of plans for his Mig and they are super nice and simple. The laser cutting on his kits is good as well. He sells from his website and has some video of the planes flying. He is a great example of someone who loves this sport and is willing to share his acheivements with others.
He is also a world class medal athlete, and if I am not mistaken was in the Olympics.
