Looking for a Robin
 

I am looking for a Jodel Robin, for a decent price. A kit would be great, but an ARF will be ok too.
The size - I have a .70 FS and a 1.20 FS laying around, either size would be great

Graupner has one, but it's really pricey. Does anyone have an idea where to get one?

Hi Oliver Jacob,

for you is 400 Euroto much for the Graupner ARF Jodel with 250cm wingspan?

Sorry,..I can't believe.

The Graupner Robin is about $730 shipped, not really a bargain, but very nice looking. We can buy quality scale planes for a lot less here.
But I'd be happy with a smaller version, like a 90 size and I'd use my 1.20 four stroke engine.

What's not to believe?

I think Model Airplane News has plans for a 1 or 2 seater and you can modify the fuse for looks.

Gabriel, we are in the US, our currency is the US Dollar and Graupner USA charges about $ 700 plus shipping.

And a good quarter scale plane starts around $250 here.
The Graupner quality is great, but won't justify the high price. And I am German, lived most of my life there.
Rc planes are a lot cheaper in the US, Graupner, Robbe, Multiplex are rather unknown here because of their prices.

TFF, thanks for the info. I am not much of a scratch builder. This plane shoudl be as scale as possible and I'd like to have a nice cockpit and cowling with it.
It's a beautiful plane when it's build right.
Years ago some of the German vendors had a nice selection of these planes, not anymore...
