Default First look at the DSM Champ

The Champ is almost ready for its release so it is time to post pictures of the model. The Champ was designed to be an all out freestyle model, but still be very capable of precision on low rates. The model features pre-"milled" construction giving you the lightest possible construction methods that many of the top ETOC pilots use. Kits should be ready for shipment early next week. Since our website will probably not be up for a few more weeks, if you are interested in ordering please send me a PM or email me at Chris@darksidemodels.com. (We are also very interested in international orders so please feel free to contact us.) We hope to ship the first run by Monday of next week(Wednesday at the latest) Cost on the kits will be $65 plus S&H you can drop me a PM or email to reserve one, no money is due until the shipping date.

EDIT: Kits can now be purchased on the web site http://www.darksidemodels.com/Kits.html
Free shipping for the first 20 Champ lite kits sold.

Thanks,
Chris

As far as I know they will be in production until they are either obsolete or been replaced by a newer better flying version. Thanks for your interest.
