What Kit is this??
I have a kit with no instructions no plans
Box is marked Executive Design Corp Amityville, NY Clues White Plastic Wheel pants that would accomodate up to about a 5" wheel 10 plastic Cowl blisters suggesting a 5 cylinder radial 9" in diameter round 1st fuselage bulkhead looks like piece to make rounded wing tips enough ribs and center spars for probably 2 wings Biplane?? My guess is a Waco bipe at least 1/5 scale but have not seen very many kits and cannot find anything about Executive Design Corp Amityville, NY yours thoughts appreciated |

RE: What Kit is this??

RE: What Kit is this??
I knew it when I saw the posts title before clicking on the thread.
I said to myself..."It's obviously a Reliant" ;) |

My guess to the airplane in question is a Monocoupe 90A. I had a kit several years ago and it was stolen. only thing that I have left are the plans and construction booklet strange! Had them out to plan for a winter build when my storage unit was looted. Model builds up exactly to the dimentions of the Pacific Aeromodel Monocoupe

It's definitely a Monocoupe. Probably an IKON NWest. The giveaway are the three flying geese one of which is visible on the fuselage side just under the trailing edge. That's the Monocoupe logo.

If it says Executive models, then its not an IkonWest kit. Executive models made very few kits, several cubs and Cessna's, Their best one was the Monocoupe 90A 1/4 scale. all parts were machine cut and sanded. Very high quality! Next best thing to laser cut. You ever see one , you wont forget it! The plans, instructions,and photo pack is all I have left of the one I had. They were a "cottage" manufacture in the 70's/80's and their kits were of high quality, their numbers were small!

Thanks for all the help
I was thinking stinson but about 1/2 of the ribs are all the same size. I would think they would have to taper gradually to match the wing Could be monocoupe but tail feathers have the extra triangular end piece on the elevators Maybe I got a 4 or five kits in one. I will try to add pix to the original post |

From what I see of your kit, you have the Monocoupe
|
RE: What Kit is this??
You can get the plans for the Executive Design Monocoupe 90A from Uncle Willy's plans. I bought the plans to scratch built one. It comes as a file through email and then you can print them at your local copy shop. The price was less than $5...
