What is the price in ARC, It looked nicely done, but its still a Chinese arf and I would make mods and triple check all the glue joints, and put an 85 on it.
Mike,
You were right about hearing $1495.00 for a price but I think the folks at Blazing Wings are the one that had that price. Give me a PM and I'll fill you in on some more bits on this. Seems like there were several wannabe distributors and I'm guessing that the Knox Hobbies folks must have won that war. As far as the planes go, I'm hearing pretty good stuff from the other side of the world from a fellow that got one of the blue/yellow ones. At $875.00 shipped, we are gonna look like Christmas shoppers coming through the front door of a Walmart store at midnight opening!

BOB-

I will have to look at our schedule and speak to the sales rep for that area.. but keep in mind we are just spooling this project up and want as much face time with the public as possible..

I do want to congratulate you on having the honor of the owing the last direct sale purchase from our supplier but if you get the airframe and have any questions or need anything feel free to give us a jingle. I am we can help you and would be glad to do so.

The New KNOXHOBBIES line is going to be a newer version with some changes we feel are considered improvements(which we will release the improvements in due time) by our knowledgeable design team who is really are working hard to improve this already superb built and incredibly light weight line of airplanes.

Again let me know how you like the version you have coming and give me the feedback.

Mike, Lou, Bob, etc..........
I had a very nice phone conversation with Dwayne from Knox Hobbies today and he gave me some insight on their operation. I think we are all in for a refreshing new selection of planes at great prices. We swapped some info we had collected on CH Models and shared some interesting stories.

He had told me of a green version of the Pitts that was at Bomber Field. I wasn't there for both days that weekend but our friend Doug and my son Kyle were. His "green Pitts" is the plane that Kyle was telling me about and was all excited about! Now that Kyle is gone, every little tidbit of info that comes back to me via other people that had talked to Kyle is all the more interesting! I feel like this is happening a whole lot lately and probably for good reason. I've gotten e-mails from several manufacturers and I'm going ahead and building some of these projects as if Kyle will still be with me. This is just another way of keeping me excited about this hobby even though Kyle is not here now.

At this point, stay tuned to what Dwayne is going to present to us all. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised! I know I was!

These are one in the same. All the Pitts M12's that Blazing wings sold, came from CH Models in China. I still say this plane if you can still get if for $750.00 is a steal. Great looks, great price and solid construction.

Happy landings Speedmaster. She looks awesome. My TT TOC Pitts is almost ready.
