Default RE: direct connection kits ?

They have been out of business for several years. I built the Sea Fury and bashed another Sea Fury kit into a twin. They fly exremely well but are not very accurate to scale outline. More like a pattern plane. We had 3 of the Sea Furies in our club at one time; all flew well. Also one guy built the P-40, but never flew it. Again, way out of scale. Build went just fine.

The company was in Westerville Ohio (Columbus). I remember that they no longer made the kits in the late 90's. The hobby shop (Capstone Hobbies) itself went out of business 3 or 4 yrs ago.

I've had/have a couple Direct Connection UltimateKaos pattern planes.

I go down to Westerville occasionally and there are still local people around with memories of the kits.
