Fascination Y2K?
I was surfing around for pattern flying sites and found this site, with some info on the Fascinations that Chris Lakin flew in 2000.
http://www.rc-korea.co.kr/kim/natpa/at045.htm
From the pictures and info posted there, it seems to me that Chris modified the Fascination with a smaller 74" wing and more modern looking widebody fuselage. I can´t really tell, but it looks like it says "Fascination Y2K" on the fuselage side. Does anyone know about this, and if these modifications (if they are not just illusions due to the angle of the picture) are included in the plans from Gator?

RE: Fascination Y2K?
No the plans from gator are for the standard Fascination, the old Prophecy style plane.
What follows is real cloak and dagger kinda stuff. Hehe.
The Fascination Y2K never made it past the prototypes that I know of. What DID happen was Scott Dunphy got involved in the project at some point, took it over and what followed was the PAC Titan. It's not an exact duplicate of Chris's Y2Ks, but it's Scott's version. People that had them liked them a lot, but they seem to be meeting untimely deaths.
That's what I have heard anyway.

RE: Fascination Y2K?
Thanks Mike.
I thought I´d ask since I need to purchase the T2K plans from Gator anyway, so if the Fascination plans would have been of the new version I could have added them to the order without much extra cost. But since they are of the old plane, I won´t do that.
