RE: model design.com
Pete,
i have not built one of their kits but a very good friend of mine is good mates with the owner and says they are a good kit but you need to be an advanced builder as the destructions are kind of sparse. He has built and flies the Yak kit. Great flyer.
I have looked over the booklet for the P40 and it gives you what you need to know but you need to be a good builder to think it out.
I have seen 2 of the P40s on the warbird cct here and they fly delightfully, one has a G62 fitted and is very light and goes like a scalded cat. Typical P40 tencdencies but nothing nasty.
I will be getting the P40 myself later in the year and I'm very comfortable handing over my $$ for one. As for retracts talk to Peter Gow of Custom retracts in Sydney, he has the gear for the full range.
Hope this helps.
cheers

RE: model design.com
What is their actual address? I went to www.modeldesign.com and it took me to a company in the Carolinas which has nothing to do with airplanes. Just curious.

RE: model design.com
many thanks Peter for the advice..
they sound like good kits in about 1/4 to 1/5 scale and at a great price. of course the 3W engine is good value as well.
can you clarify just what you mean by good builder tho..are the instructions that vague?
