Looking forward to it. Hope they'll be available at Toledo. May have to bring one home!

Heres a couple of pics to show the quality of the mouldings, the hinge shrouds, spats etc. Paintwork is the standard finish, I've just added rivets. The composite structure gives a good surface for adding rivets, fasteners etc When I get the the whole thing assembled I'll show some more.
The U/C set up has worked out great. Its not set up for oleos at the moment, but if required we'll do a mod in this area, although with soft wheels there seems to be plenty of cushioning. A problem with a full trousered U/C has been flexing of the leg allowing the rear of the trouser to punch through the bottom wing skin. This wont happen with the Stuka though since the leg is towards the rear of the trouser and the top half of the trouser is a sliding fit, including the fairing to the underside wing surface.

Check out the new picture of the Stuka on KMP's web site, Beautiful aircraft. Paul will KMP sell the 3 blade spinner & prop seen in the photo & is it a static prop or the real thing?. Which engine are you guys using?.

the evo will stick out all over the place, the front end is not large, the new rcv130 was to be fitted, but it wont fit, so the 90 is in there, a good engine to fit would be the laser 100, quite a poky motor, and small, i really dont think any gas engine will fit,

How about the RCV 120? Picked one up at To;edo last year and it needs a home. (I could pick up the Stuka this year!)
Thanks

Thanks a lot Alan. No hurry, because Toledo's more than a month out and I'm not going to do anyhting until I see the airplane there. Just thought I'd ask, tho, so as to get the planning a bit more focussed....

Andrew,
You guys are rocking the free world with your lineup. I am almost finished with the B-25, I will be ordering the ME-109 shortly and now the Stuka. Make way for the current GP stuka on RCU or Ebay. Oh wait, the Tcat as well????? AHHHHHHH Just stop...you are killing us! As someone else stated "There goes my Christmas (and birthday, graduation, Halloween, work bonus, etc.) money. Ok, just becasue my wallet and savings account are gluttons for punishment, here's one for ya! I dare you guys to do a He-111 similar to the scale as the B-25! That will tech us! BTW will you guys ever do anything WW1(ish)?
I and my bank would like to thank you for all the great work,
Brent

model is all epoxy resin, with detailed surface, over a timber frame, due in in time for the season, and thanks, but test pilots we have, we do it in house, we use this as part of the development, rather than just throw them onto the market, we can be found on the r/c flyers forum, where we have lists for various aircraft, to be a forum member, is to get priority for delivery,

wow that plane looks great you know there arent any realy scale larger sized 80+ sea furys out there i know you make one but an all composite with a thiner wing at the tip would be so awsome also the p-40 would be a must have in all composite the corsair with flaps that look right for once and the hellcat with the mouth scheam is awsome losta good options if you made one of these planes i would be very happy
