Default WANTED Hotspot kit or RTF

I am looking to buy a Hotspot any where from NIB to Bind and Fly. I only want the updated version that has built in reflex in the wings. I might even be interested in just a set of updated wings as long as they have the reflex built in.


Also looking for one or more clear canopies for Hotspot.

That's a new one on me. I wasn't aware of an updated Hotspot with built in reflex. Who makes it? The reflex is no big deal, why would you need it to be "built in?"

You might want to call Tad at Goldenwest Models. He molds and builds his own Hotspots. He built mine 12 years ago from an original Jet Team Liebetrau kit and it's still going strong. If you click on "model planes" at the top of his web page you will see a picture of it. If I was buying another one I would get it from Tad. He might be able to supply you with a canopy.

I talked to Tad 6 or 8 months ago and he had no kits and no canopies and not much in the way of ideas.

How about a wild hornet .... I think they look pretty close and it's and ARF.... I like the leaned in rudders on the hotspot better but hard to find these days. I sold a new kit years ago

Although i bought a Hotspot kit from him at last years Jetpower, i would not recommend placing an order for airtech-jetteam kit from Thorsten Klaus. Word on german forums is he took a lot of deposits for orders but did not deliver. A lot of people are looking for him. Just a heads up...


regards, Bart.

Carlos (CM jets) is a cool dood!
I have followed his threads, he has quite a talent!

As I understand it, Thorsten Klaus has been very ill!
I was not aware of any wrong doing, but I will ask the question!

Hello friends:

At the moment I not have the new molds ready, sorry. But if you need a canopy I can make one for you.

Regards from Spain.
