I've seen mention in this forum of a composite Hotspot.

I think peapole mention you can get them from GoldenWest models, but there is no mention on their web site.

I've just got a regular Hotspot, but I'm interested in replacing the fins with a composite pair, as I feel that the quality of the kit fins are way below that of the rest of the kit, and that having to glass and paint them while I can film the wings is a bit of a hassle.

Can anybody confirm if the composite Hotspot is still available, where you can get it, and if the fins are interchangable with the regular kit.

Thanks

goldenwest is no longer selling the hot spot.

Tad has replaced the composite HS with the new Blade. I have posted a few photos on another thread tonite.

It is basically a Hotspot with straight fins and an enclosed engine. Like the original, it is a sharp looking jet.

Henry out in L.A. may still have some composites for sale---his URL is http://hvnmodels.com/hvn products i.htm

My buddy Dave and I have built 3 of the compo Spots, and Dave just finished the Blade. All are great layups and take about 25 hours to complete---mostly install and paint.

Small update, Henry now has his own site to "play-in".

Great deal on the Composite-Pre-Built Hot Spots.

Get the tip tanks and drop tanks and ask him to do the lower air brake, for a really stand out example.
