/Does anyone know if there is a Challenger 2 Biplane kit out there or even plans to build one in around 1/7 1/6 1/5 or 1/4 scale? I don't want any ARFs either Barf on ARF

Yeah I found one last sunday I think, while surfing looking for a Pitts Python... just hold on I'll get it now, oh I also know about a 100cc one.. if you're interested
Cheers,

I haven't seen one for the Challenger II specifically...


I think a Midwest Super Stinker or Hostetler's Super Stinker from plans would get you close enough...

http://www.eurekaaircraft.com/airpla...llenger-II.htma lot bigger than what you wanted though... but it's the closest I could get without goin arf

There was a German kit builder that I saw on a trade show, it was quite larger than 1/4 scale and was an awesome kit, they were entering into the market about four years ago, I have not heard of them since.
I built a Carl Goldberg Ultimate Kit a few years a go and covered just like the challenger, it is a show stopping.

I had built it with smoke but I changed the engine for best performance and I haven't found the time to assemble the pump with the new engine.

Note that the last picture in this slide show is the real challenger.

Best regards.

Frank,

Look at the attached PDF and pick your poison. Don't be affraid to try the Weeks Solution X either. IMHO, it's a far better airplane than the ANY of the Challenger's.

BTW, Give Dave a call. He's a very nice person to talk with and he will answer any of your questions.

Thanks for that pdf,
I've been searching for a Bipe in the 70" span size for a while now to go with a 4.2 motor I Have
the Challenger III is the perfect size,, I'll be calling Dave too

A 1961 Scientific Models "Little Stinker" blown up to Golonga I'll never understand why airplanes have so many code names imagine if last last variant of the BF-109 was called a Mustang? A Challenger is a Pitts A Waco,, a Curtiss, a Henschel or Fokker...It's like knowing all the key players in your favorite sport team.............I'll never learn this[&o]

Sean Tucker's Challenger is a highly Modified Pitts

He usually is here for the CLE Airshow Labor day weekend, you should come up.

Who has built the Miles Reed Challenger II Biplane kit? Anything to look out for? Servo recomdations? I gonna lighten up the plane as much as possible.Going to be electric powered.
