Dave Platt Models sold them before Pica bought the designs. Maybe it was one straight from him?

Do you still have the plans? If not I can look the numbers up, but we built them to plans except for the landing gear described below. All the important angles, right and down thrust, wing and stab...

RE: Royal Kits

Here's the other plane's maiden. I apologize for my poor video skills and constant chatting, I was a bit hyped up after my maiden.

RE: Royal Kits

Thanks guys! We did a lot of "pre-game" youtube video analysis of other P-26 maidens and decided, "don't pour on the coals too fast for takeoff" was the key, and it worked. Taxi tests proved you...

RE: Royal Kits

Do you think beefing that up would be a good idea? Too late for me now, but I'm wondering, the headrest has to be there you can't get rid of it, so when the plane flips over would it be better that...

RE: Royal Kits

After fiberglass but before paint it weighed 12 lbs, so I'm guessing it will be about 14 pounds with a 67" wingspan. The balance was good before paint, hopefully that won't change too much. That...
