Default G & P Sales PBY

Check out G & P Sales. They have a number of seaplane kits. They do have a couple of PBY's.

You can find them at this site http://www.rcairplane.net/

They have two or three different PBY's. Bill makes a very good kit. I am building the 120" Grumman Widgeon.

Default A million thanks

Hi,

Thanks,

For some reason my system (Being about 3 years old) wants to lock every time I change the resolution, so I was stuck.

Thanks a million. Hope I can return the favor some time.

God bless,

Dave

No problem Dave, just pay the way for me and my familiy to come see the maiden flight of your PBY. I'd even be willing to float in the water and pretend to be a downed WWII aviator

BTW

GPs has discontinued the PBY kit, and I have called every dealer in my area and some others. No one seems to have any in stock so I guess I'll have to save up for the "Big-un"

Default Many Thanks,

Many Thanks,

You've made my day!!!!

Their webb page lists it as discontinued, and every dealer I contacted seems to believe that they are.

I will contact and see what I can do. Would love to have one, even if I never fly it. (Fat chance of that if I get it built)

God bless,

Dave
