If you have to ask, then you can't afford it!

These are the only 3 that I know of, and only 2 of them have flown. I do not believe that they are being manufactured any more, so parts replacement will be difficult at best. Great looking planes, but I think they are heavy. In the right hands I am sure they will do every trick in the book well, but for the average pilot I think the weight will make it a disappointing aircraft in the performance department. I am sure it would be a joy to fly a plane of this size.

Its not going to be a 3D Bird and require some work to finish it, but if your looking for a plane that will perform scale aerobatics this fits the bill. Here are photos of of a couple more that have flown. There is a guy in NC who bought the molds and is going to be reselling these kits I have his phone number.

its a great airplane, I first flew mine with a ZDZ 210 and it flew very lightly. The reason I went with the 300 is because I am the North American importer, so I would be hard pressed to have anything else in the nose

The molds, and all parts to continue this airplane has been purchased by Tim Kordon, so parts will be availlable.


Its an awesome airplane.

Roger

"Badge" who is selling this plane is a great guy. You will probably not find this plane cheaper than what he is selling it for right now. I have seen this plane personally and it is big. If you are really intending in buying it I think you would probably be stealing it for the price he wants.
