No one makes a King Air kit/ARF?
 
1 Attachment(s)
Of all the twins that are available in kit and ARF form I find it hard to believe no one makes a King Air. They have been around since the 60's, are a popular choice for low budget corporate travel and are still produced today.

Back in the day I got my start flying charter in a King Air A90. Today, I'm fortunate to fly a corporate jet full time but recently have been flying some King Airs part time. I had forgotten how much fun they are, especially as single pilot. :D

Does anyone know if there is a kit, ARF or plans available for any King Air model?

Check out R/C Aerodyne. They have one that should be out soon if not already

My friend has 2 in his hangar in Palo Alto Ca., uses them to fly people to ski resorts.

Did mods to the rear of the nacelles to hold skis.

I checked out RC Aerodyne and the King Air is not available yet. I think it may be the same you listed Kor.

I'd like to find something that uses 25 or 40 size 2 strokes. Of all the airplanes out there that are modeled I'm surprised no one has done the King Air. Not even in plans form.

Carlos, that's a nice mod. They're called wing lockers. Great for holding golf bags and soft luggage too.

Thanks for the input everyone!

WOW! that already sounds out of my league. Are you going to use turboprops?

Here's a link to one I found on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmoLrO4fC_E

I'm looking for a King Air in the 100+ Inch size. On the other forum there is a guy that does one in foam with CNC, but he'll only start production after he receives 3 orders...
Check the link to get an idea: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showp...6&postcount=17
