Looks good.....Might be one to look out for in the future.

Got these pics from the GS forum.

Hmmm, remind youo of anything? Except it'll probably be a fraction of the cost.

These pictures are of the plane and its designer.....Marcelo Colombo from Argentina.

WHERE IS THIS FORUM?

Giant scale.

So this is a new plane?

not just the widebody 140?

Is an A.A version likely to be released?

ummmm I must be blind I didn't find it in the Giant Scales Forums...

???

Very nice looking plane I guess the name is eclipse.. not a Widebody 140.....

Woops, forgot to mention, it is under the CA models 27% Extra 300L page $199 special page. http://www.rcuniverse.com/showthread...=&pagenumber=8

Its not a Widebody, but a new design. It looks good, all I need now is the price. I dunno about an AA version, but you could get a set of wings and stabs cut if you wanted a two in one plane.
Robert..

I recently e-mailed Don Kanak about this asking when the Widebody 120 would be available. Here is his reply:

There will be 2 versions.
1. For pattern the eclipse
2 for 3d the fantasy
Both are glass fuse and presheeted surfaces.
Kit 595
Arc 995
Arf 1495
We will bring a few in in a container in the end of january.
Don 630-240-1288

Is that $595 US for the kit?
Think id rather have an excellence for that price!!

Hey that price for the kit is pretty good for us here in the US. The shipping will be resonable too ecspecially for me because I'm a 40 min. drive from Planes Plus. The kit will also have all the sheeting completed. The Arf will be a bargain too. Good to see a choice like this becoming available. Mike

Where is the new pattern plane? I see the same old PLPROD Smaragdd there.
This reminds me of the Focus/Onyx affair....

Price seems steep to me, but I guess it's in line with other similar kits.

I wish they had produced an all wood kit version of this plane. Look at the price of the Widebody 60! The 120 version is not THAT much bigger. We might have had wood kit for under $300.

I was waiting on this kit to decide whether or not to scratch a Typhoon 2000. Now that's what I'll do.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH SMARAGDS?!?!

And for about $1200 US you can have an Excellence kit as opposed to the $600 US for the Eclipse. I think the Eclipse is the better buy!

Yep, and you could probably save a bit by buying in bulk with your friends direct from Marcelo Colombo.
