Decent 'cheap' pilots?
Anyone know where is a good place to buy a 33%ish pilot? I dont want to spend big bucks, but dont want a crappy plastic looking one either. Its to go in a 1/3 pitts special (civilian obviously)

Re: Decent 'cheap' pilots?
Brett,
I feel your pain!! I can't bring myself to blow 100 bucks on a pilot when I need that 100 bucks for batts and a reg... Anyway - Aircraft International has foam painted pilot figures. I kinda have an affinity for blondes with big hoo haas so I have been getting the Jessica Rabbit with blonde hair. I have been telling my wife it looks like her heheheheh. I guess I'm into cheap blondes... For a 33 - 40%er its about 40 -50 bucks. They look half way decent and ya don't need to rob a bank to get one-IMHO. Not to mention there are very lite! I think they are less than 2.0 ounces.. http://www.aircraftinternational.com/ Hope this helps!!  Ronster |

Re: Decent 'cheap' pilots?
Thanks, but don't thank me.
Hanger9 filled a problem we have had for a while. There is no reason that we need to pay 75-100 buck for a 35-40% pilot. Or maybe I am just too cheap. cheers, wayne |

Re: Decent 'cheap' pilots?
Hey Beejay, How about 33% in unequaled realistic detail? Seven pieces in all - you paint the helmet and torso.
We will paint the face if you like $59.00 + s&h. http://www.redaerorc.com/scalepilots.html Hand made to your order by Fl. guys. We are working on leather brain bag versions too BTW. |
