Hi Everyone:

I'm pleased to announce the soon to arrive Stuka ARF to our line up. The first batch will be arriving just before the Holidays if everything goes well.

Hopefully we'll have it on display with the new Hawker Typoon Mk1 which will be on display in at the IHOBBY Expo in Chicago.

The wingspan will be around 73 inches and air retracts will be included. I will post pictures ofthe Stuka after I return from my factory trip in China.

Cheers,
Andrew Kondor

Air retracts for the Stuka or the Typhoon?

Uh, Stuka has fixed landing gear and doesn't need retracts

Please! Need to see some pictures!


Oh, and I could also use a larger house to put more planes in...

Retracts? Could you have meant to say, "oleo struts", Andrew?

Hey No fair!! i'm still waiting for the distributors here is Oz to have the Me-109 back in stock!

I have read the rumors about the tiffie coming out but if in fact a Stuka is also being released, it would be very hard to resist...................................

Thanks

I could be mistaken, but I believe the Stuka is designed by another designer other than YT International. Hopefully it will look just as nice and scale as the YT designed warbirds.

Luckily for you Richard, the Stuka is designed by us in the UK, so it will be up to the latest YT KMP (ESM) standards. Unfortunately though, we are concentrating on the Typhoon at the moment, but the Stuka was designed months ago and will be coming very shortly after the Typhoon as the prototype Stuka is the next to come. Stay tuned.

It will be up to YT standards, and will only be released in the UK when we have done trying to break the prototype, model is expected for evaluation and box art purposes soon, only when we are satisfied, and the usual niggles are got rid of, will we order a kit run for the UK, trouble is, we have many irons in the fire, and some, we would like to keep to ourself for a while!!

but i promise you, you will like the surprises we have in store, IF we can keep them as surprises!!!!!!!!!

Any hint as to whether the Stuka will be a -B or -D model?

Now how about that all composite FW 190A to provide fighter escort? (and I don't mean the poo looking Flair/CMP attempt)

Hi Everyone:

Indeed I did mean Oleo Struts and not retracts!! Thats what happens when I don't get enough sleep daydreaming about new planes all day...

So, Andrew, do you think you're the only one so afflicted? I got news for you, Bud. This hobby is chock full of guys losing sleep over airplanes!

Keep up the great work, my friend. And post a few pictures when you can.

Hi Everyone,
These pictures are the first set I recently took fresh from China. With the permission of the factory I can now post these pictures for everyone to have a glimpse at the amazing detail offered in this brand new all composite model.

The wing Span is 78.5 inches.

Wow,

That is looking pretty good. It looks like Dora version? Are they planning on offering the cowl for the B version? I reckon they are the best looking stuka you can get!

What size engine is it designed for? at that span i would guess a 20-50cc gasser?

thanks

TomCrump

The Stuka looks great, Andrew. I was hoping for the Dora, as I have a Ziroli Ju 87B.

I'll keep following this thread for info on a release date.

It just blows me away That KMP does not do the research and come out with the planes at least 80" wing span. If I see one under I won't look twice. I only fly at IMAA size events. I have discussed this with KMP and they blew me off. I have their 96"OV-10 and Love it. I even had 3 friends buy the OV-10 because they liked mine. The size was perfect. I understand its hard to sell a 100" model to everyone. But an 80" model works to both the sides of the coin. Its crazy to go 78.5" and not 80"
It just does not make for good business to scale a plane to cut away 1/3-1/2 more business...

Ty

lownloud

its so close to 80 inches, are they really gonna take out a tape measure and say, "sorry, you cant fly it" at the event?

just build it, show up at the event, and dont draw too much attention to yourself

Unfortunately, as soon as somebody shows up with one of these and starts stealing some knuckleheads thunder from his ultra obscure, handbuilt, "whackadoo"....yes, he will probably demand the management measure it.

Hi Everybody:

The reason we keep our planes under 80 inches is that that in almost evcery case we would be out of the 1.20-1.40 engine range. For now we are not focused on the IMAA specs for the WWII birds. Soon we will have a new range of models which will be 35-50CC. These new all composite models will be suited perfectly for large scale events. The details of these models will not be released until mid summer 2007 so please hang tight.

Cheers,
Andrew
