OK GUYS here is the SCOOP-

Yes-
We are using CH to supply our KnoxHobbies airframes and have been working with them for sometime to obtain the Exclusive rights in the USA. With this sole dealership awarded we are excited to offer many new improvements in this already stellar airframe asa result.

Yes-
You are right that was our GREEN MONSTER (older version) that you all drooled on at Houston DOD with one of our sales representatives. But as I mentioned earlier we have asked for some big changes to the structure which the current order will support. We have greatly improved the existing version that you have seen from the former supplier. Just one of the improvement we can mention at this time is that we have designed by adding the Cannister Tunnels in the 95" Pitts. As seen in this attached picture! The way these are configured will allow you to choose to use them or not in your build.

Yes-
We do have these on the way and are planning to offer an Introductory Offer in the next couple of days to the public. We are going to be offering $ 100.00 OFF to the customers who wants to commit to this new exciting KnoxHobbies airframes in the colors that we have on the way today (delivers in mid Jan-09)! We are also planning to make the deal even SWEETER by offering free shipping when buying and airplane and engine combo. So watch for the coming official Introductory Offers to be posted here as well as on the website.

Yes-
We are also planning to stock in our USA warehouses on a regular basis 2 different color scheme in the Big Pitts, Small Pitts, Yak , and coming soon the Edge 540... so keep your eyes peeled for these exciting models in all sizes. This will allow you to gain parts and service from us here in the USA and not have to wait for the parts to be delivered from China.

In addition we will be offering 2 improved "Custom color scheme" options in a couple of different manners:

Option 1-
Totally Custom-- you send us the picture of the scheme you want we Doctor up the scheme and send it to you for approval and the rest is history.

Option 2-
We will be offer all planes in a basis 2 color scheme (you choose the colors and placement) and will receive a custom graphic package from our graphics supplier BAD BRAD GRAPHICS!

Stay tunned and DON'T TOUCH THAT DIAL!!

I like the plane real well. The packaging wasn't the best, but almost everything made it ok. The rudder was brocken and he is sending a new rudder. The covering is very good. Glueing seems pretty good, not alot of excess glue. Fit of the ailerons is not the best, but should be ok. It would be nice if the canopy was painted. Fiberglass is good but the paint has some rough spots. The wheels look real good. Construction seems light and strong (very stiff). Holes for mounting the cowl do not line up very well and some of the bolts are real sloppy in the blind nuts. All in all I am pleased with the model. Some pictures attached.

Do you have or are you going to have a manual on your web site? There is no manual that came with the model.

BOB-

As for the manual we are working on the development of one in the very near future and yes it will be available on the site.


As to the issues you noted on the airplane.. This was the OLDER version that we started with before noting some of the same opportunities we did in the model. We have been able to see the potential in this great built model. As mentioned before we are currently importing a new and improved version to include: Canister Tunnels, Improved Hardware, and Closer QA on the finished produce. We do realize that no one is perfect and things happen in the real world and KH stocking the replacement parts is going to be part of the key to the awesome success of this KnoxHobbies model. This is one of the reasons why we feel this is why a US distributor on this fine product was way over due and will really help rocket these model to the forefront in or hobby.

We have already been approached by some of the biggest names in the business as they recognize the value and potential of the KnoxHobbies planes.

Again Bob we have another shipment leaving in less than 10 days and would be glad to get you any item you may need.

As soon as we nail down the delivery date we are going to announce the Retail prices and start order processing in the very near future... (hint next few days)
