Called VMC Very helpful and decision is to sell my new Keil Kraft kit and buy a laser cut one from them No stock of balsa wood, supply problem, and have to wait two months for the balsa wood as apparently it is being used for wind turbines. Thanks for prompt replies and suggestions. Bill     Edited By Bill Rogers on 18/01/2021 11:04:46

First build using non laser cut parts Arthritis in hands, so looking to make cutting easier. I have a scroll saw with a fine blade Would this work please? Thanks Bill

Keil Kraft Super 60 kit jsut sold on ebay .. Seller not sure if all complete.  Was interested until it went past £100 I can get a Ben Buckle kit, ,which I will now do, for £95 So my question is, why do original kits attract such a premium price ? Bill Edited By Bill Rogers on 08/11/2020 19:25:43

Just out of interest, are models of this scale common in model planes.? Thanks        Edited By Cub L4 on 28/04/2020 09:45:42

Thank you for replies and advice on engines and reinforcement area which is noted and appreciated. Doing some research, the full size wing span was 423 inches. The model is 64 inches, which I think is a ratio of 1 to 6.6 inches, ie just under one seventh of full size?

Just inherited this kit new and boxed as supplied. Wing span is 64 inches. My first attempt at building a model. Engine size is '25' two stroke to '40' four stroke so will definitely need some engine advice in the future. I think this may well be an obsolete model. The parts are supplied cut to size.
