New - KMP Ki84
 

I see KMP has a new Ki84 out and it looks just like my smaller one from Hyperion. I love this plane ! It flys so well, the one I have now. I hope the larger one will fly as well. Too many nice planes coming out from KMP. They are going to bankrupt me or cause my wife to divorce me :D

Looks nice but I would prefer it 88" for 50cc. In this size I would pass.

RE: New - KMP Ki84
 

Wow, I had the Hyperion version and it's smaller and not half as good looking as this one from KMP. What do you think the best size electric motor would be?

RE: New - KMP Ki84
 

I don't know what the AUW will be but if it's like the other KMP planes I would throw a Power 110 or 160 in it.

Love the Frank and this one is as nice as I have yet seen in ARF format, but this ones a little bit small for me personally. Iam in love with the flying qualities of the larger 1/5 scale warbirds with +80" span

One of my all time favorites, glad to see KMP and others finnaly getting around to doing the Japanese WWII aircraft. I will buy this one and if they came out with a bigger one I'd get that too. So many great schemes for this ship. I actually have one of the Aerotech KI-84s but can't see getting the time to finish her. Beautiful detail though. The camo scheme on the Franks was one of my favorites

This is a detailed version of the Frank aircraft modelled by KMP. Great weathering! http://agapemodels.com/?p=262

Yeah both the Frank and Tony have some great camo & weathering cominations. The Ki84 is like a trimmed down P47 :D

Manfred,
FYI, for some reason the link you posted seems to be no longer working. Would be grateful if you could see if those photos are still up - I happen to be just about to weather / scale-up the smaller Hyperion version so real-life photos of a used Hayate would be a great help.

I can no longer find that model on this site. Had no idea that was a Christian modeling site.

RE: New - KMP Ki84
 

88" for 50cc? Why not just put a 50 in this one? I have a World models P47 and a KMP Bearcat both with 50's in them (CRRC Pro and DLE55) and they fly very well - and you wont need as much nose weight. Ive always been of the opinion that if you are starting a project and will need ballast up front, then just get a bigger motor. Ive never managed to over power a warbird yet.....
