RE: Royal/Marutaka plans
Hi. Great thread. I also have 2 old royal kits. A P51 Marutaka mustang and a zero. First off when I purchased the zero the plans and intruction info were missing. If someone could help me out with these items that would be great then I can finally start building this kit. Its a zero junior series that takes a .35 to .40 glow engine and has a 51 and a half inch wingspan. Been sitting in my closet for 15 years. Also started building the mustang 20 years ago did not complete it because i lost interest. I decided to look at it again and discovered my kids had destroyed the wing on me. Lucky i have plans for that and will hopefully try to rebuild the wing. Thanks for any help.

Wonder why they call for .60's on the small twins they make, especially the widow?
Not many pictures of the Royal/Marutaka P-61 under construction and certainly I've never seen any pictures of one finished, except the box picture. I built the center pod of my P-61 so that I could mess around with a cockpit while I build my other planes. It only took me a day's worth of work to get it completely framed, and part of that was looking at the plans to figure out the changes to fit a cockpit. Luckily the only formers that needed to be moved was F-3, forward just a bit. I'm building a special vacuum former table and heating element that is over 55'' long so that I can pull the huge plastic piece that is the bottom of the pod! Not much balsa in this plane, most of that is in the wing. I built this thing from the plans, completely from scratch, I started with just paper and plastic sheet. It's an odd scale at 1/11.
With the thousands of Royal plans out there, I wonder how many will actually get built? [img][/img]
As far as that P-40 goes, it's ugly and to me is not worth having, I would never build something like that. I looked at the Hellcat plans and they look very nice, that one I would like to have.

You will never find a set of plans for the Royal/Marutaka P40 or the kit itself. It's extremely rare and you would be absolutely lucky to find it. The Hellcat comes in second and third is the Black Widow.
The P40 is considered the Holy Grail of Royal. I've been searching for it for years.

Wow you say thousands yet how could that be when the number ever produced appears to be under 100...

RE: Royal/Marutaka plans
the p-40 appears to have the off scale wing tips of the old red box top flite kit.

The Widow is owned by a friend of mine. The Hellcat I own.
The last pic is the only known pic of a Royal P40. It is owned by an RCU member.

I'd love the plans to the Corsair, spit and Mustang if you're still offering. My email is [email protected]. Are these 1/8 scale plans?

RE: Royal/Marutaka plans
Here are some pics of my Marutaka Kawasaki Ki-61 Hien.
I found this 30 year old unbuilt kit a couple of months ago and had the maiden flight 2 weeks ago. It flew great

Thank you very much for the email. Do you know if they had a zero? I would like to try another plane before I start on this B-25. Also, what do i do? Take the files to a print shop and have them print the files out? I have never done this before. Again thanks so much for the plans. I have my canopies and cowls on order now.
