Think anyone would ever reproduce this classic kit?

Like the Flite Streak and Combat Cat, the Kitten used machined balsa LE's & TE's that were expensive for Top Flite to make and prohibitive for everybody else.

Maybe a simplified version, like the Brodak Lightning Streak, would be more feasible. 
The Kitten was not as undersized as the Little Satan an other half A's at the time.   

Anything is possible.   Peter Henkman.


But somebody who needs a 1/2A to be kitted is unlikely to whittle down a 1" square stick.   A better option is the work-around as in many Brodak kits.

Ah yes, the Combat Kitten!  Way back in the mid-sixties, it was my first "combat wing" airplane after learning to fly C/L. (Via half-A's I might add.)

There are a couple of Combat Kitten threads over at the 1/2 A forum here at Stunthanger.  Here's the direct links:

First is a discussion of the Combat Kitten that evolves into some 1/2 A combat wing kibitzing...

Then a "for fun" Combat Kitten vs Lil' Satan thread...

Still have the intention/hope of building me a TD powered Kitten "someday".

Even the Cat would be cool.

 I have a partial kit of the Combat Kitten .   Few ribs..nose block that's in sections... LE.... part of the TE....and that odd looking spar.  Surely the kit looks way easy  enough to scratch build. I'm just shocked it has been reproduced or attempted with more modern techniques

The Combat Kittens were a favorite of mine in the '80s.  A friend & I got in lots of combat practice with Kittens running Medallion .049s on surgical tubing.

The Medallion is a bunch less "finicky" than Tee Dees, and the Kitten is a pretty rugged airplane.

Resulting in great practice for combat on a small field, using very little fuel!

PS: Also won combat at an AAA contest back in the '60s with a Combat Cat that had seen lots of service.  Running a 1959 plain-bearing Fox 29X it was surprisingly fast, keeping up with ST combat engines on Voodoos for example.  [Well, the engine wasn't exactly stock ... ]   Really loved that one, no problem adjusting for the engine offset, wouldn't mind building another!
