No news is ... Boring!
I spoke with George Jenkins who is building the KMP Corsair for a review. He seems to like the kit.
He said that a friend had one and tried to fly it like a yard dart (my interpretation) by rotating before it was really flying and guess what happened? Yep, rolled over on that left wing and died a horrible death!
It is being repaired and will fly another day, but haven't head of anyone else flying one.
They are made in the factory in South China where the ESM kits were/are made but are an upgrade, at least in the landing gear which is a knock-off of Spring Air's system.
Let me know if you hear anymore.

I'm a happy Chappy, it arrived today 
First impressions were of a very well packaged box, every item is bagged. I was keen to check the strength and quality of the centre wing section, after reading some of the nightmare stories of other similar sized other makers products (I'm being very pc
) But rest assured it seems very strong. Just check the thickness of that wing section, and everything is faced with hard balsa.
