Guys
I might be bringing a few more shindens over here in the states
I have had renewed interest in the model lately! I had Extreme cut about 8 ounces from the model
and they are now viable for electric or glow.

PM Me if you want one


John, Be carfull with your Shinden

PM Me and I`ll tell you what to look for.

I gotta tell ya Bryan... I'd kinda like a Shinden... or a Valiant...

Bryan any idea of what the price of the Shinden is going to be?

Thanks

Greg Grigsby

Hi Greg
as soon as I find out I`ll let you know
White or Painted?

Bryan

Hi Gregg
as soon as I know I`ll let you know
are you going to the Nats?
Bryan

Bryan

Thanks for that heads up. I imagine the Throttlestore has had these Shindens for a while. Weight is not a huge issue as I will not be competing in F3A but any other issues would be good to know about.

Best regards

John

Hey Bryan,
Would rather have white but would consider painted. No I'm not going to the nats gotta go to uab medical center that week. Good luck up there, Im sure you'll do well.

Guys

The Shinden arrived from Norway today (By Parcelforce not Longship!). So far it looks absolutely fine, superb fit and finish to all parts, the wing tube is about 1/3 of the weight of the one in my Otop. I did a quick weight check on the assembled airframe which was 5lbs 12oz for the airframe , canopy (not cut yet) landing gear and spats, add the battery at 2lbs 2oz and we have 7lbs 14oz say 8lbs which leaves 3lbs for the motor/ prop/spinner ESC/ and radio install. I am sure I can do this under 11lbs. No instruction of course so I will have to re-read the thread. Fitting the landing gear looks like a PITA at the moment but everything else looks ok. I really like how they have drilled all the holes for the control arms very neatly.

John

Hey Bryan...I have a pretty much NIB Shinden from I think the 2nd batch....The wing tube is way out of spec., can't use (fat in the middle / out of round / etc.) Any chance you can get me a "Good" one?....I'll make it worth your while!...
Thanks
