Welcome to the Giants Walter. Like Ken said look around the site. There are a ton of great videos and photos in the media galleries. The forums are loaded with information. If you ever have any questions, ask away. The members here are always glad to help out. check out the chat room there will be a chat going on Tuesday night starting at 8 PM eastern time here in the states.

Again welcome to the Giants family.

It is not a purchased kit...

It is scratch built. No foam, just wood and balsa. I started from the three views of the 100% Zivko, and then I designed and developed it in a CAD program. Al the surfaces are airfoiled. I spent about 180 hours designing the whole assembly and full part details, then manufacturing lasted 14 months, because I have not so much free time for my preferite hobby. At the end I am very proud because it is flying " as on the rails". It is not capable of unlimited hovering beacuse the powerplant is undersized (Zenoah G445), but I am planning to install a 100cm3 class powerplant, probably DA.

Thanks for your interest,

br,

Walter
