Hope this helps.

Nope, thanks though. This one is meant for the Ziroli P-61, which is 114" ws or just under 1/7 scale (14.4%); the VQ being 89", just under 1/9 scale (11.2%). I would think that the Dynamic kit is way too big; anyone actually try this one with the VQ?

Tomas, from VQ headquarters in TX, has been fighting a bad lymphoma all year. I don't think he's very active in the RC business right now. Also a shame because he was always one of my favorite suppliers. Visit his support site and launch some love and support his way!

Actually, Tomas has been fighting the lymphoma for nearly a year and a half. And he did respond to me about the cockpit kits in about 24 hours over Thanksgiving, apparently just before he came down with pneumonia that put him in intensive care for a week. So he is still involved in his RC business.

Twinman!

Delighted to see you back on the forum!

Have you got any interesting and/or unusual projects to tell us about?

(If that's not a baited hook, I don't know what is)

(More hook)

I have been focusing on 4-engine bombers lately, although I still have 3 P-61's and 2 P-38's in my stable



Recently, I installed one of JR's new gyro's in one of my Bf-110's, not for engine-out (it flies fine with engine-out), but because it behaves like an epileptic squirrel on TO

Sorry about the lack of VQ P-61 Cockpit kits... my supplier Luke Zollner was the one who had been making them for me years ago ...he has stopped as of several years ago being a supplier and is enjoying be a modeler!

Good luck and thanks for all the kind words and well wishes!
