The kit is a short kit, basically you get the nose cone, tail, and the two nacelles. Norbert Rauch manufactures them in Germany. Check the website:
http://rauch-airliner.com/

The specs are: Span: 84’’, Fuse length: 109’’ , Wing area: 741 sq.in, weight: 19Lbs

The plane is designed for twin 25N (7Lbs) setup: EDF, .46 2stroke, I chose twin Wren 44 wand start to save weight.

Norbert does have a 727 which is perfect for a single P80 class turbine.

I am not an AC driver, but have built my own home cockpit and love flying

Hi, here's my Fokker 100 twin. I have some flying video clips of varying lengths.

Robrow,
I think I saw that Fokker 100 in Holland during a KLM event some years ago. Is it a kit or did you buy that plane completely finished from there?
Or is there no relation between your F100 and the above mentioned one?

Robrow

Hi Fumus, yes there is some relationship, although the model you saw would have been for static display. I got mine from a friend who owns the original moulds. Even at this size the all up weight is still under 20kg complete with 2x 54 size turbines so she does fly at realistic scale speed...something that I have seen some other airliner models find difficult.

Can anyone translate the info on the concorde arf please ?

Peter A

My Feedback: (34)

The Concord is not an ARF. Peter Michel made a Concord and I think it might be available as a short kit only, Peter

SJN

Looks pretty complete to me...

SJN

Bahamadude......try run the german site though this translator : http://babel.altavista.com/

Far from a perfect translation, but you get an idea of what it says

Dear Sonnich

You are the best men to buy the concorde,i am very interrested! but i am waiting for you first....

cheers!

SJN

nah.... its too small

Props4ever

Excellent thread on beautiful aircraft of recent times. BTW does anyone knows website address for Kranz company?, google didn't worked..

Ps: Peter nice F27 you are working on!!!

fumus

Kranz company doesn't exist anymore for a year or so. From what I know there has never been a website.

SJN

I wonder what happened to the skymaster 727 ARF....

IFlySlowPlanes

That is the oddest nose...not a 727 at all if you ask me. Just having three engines isn't enough! Boeing noses are fairly easy to identify. This one looks like they grafted Jimmy Durante's nose onto a 727...

My Feedback: (57)

For some reason the 727's seem to be the hardest models to replicate. None of the existing ones seem very true to scale. Also that high sewpt wing with 3 different washout sections must be a royal pain to model.

Peter A

My Feedback: (34)

Actually it is not so bad to do the washouts. The 727 is much better than the A321 since it has a much thicker wing.
Here is my 727...long way to go yet, as well as pics of the A321.
