I have a small stunter kit in my collection I would like to find out more about. It's called the Aristokrat and the kit is from Denmark. The completed model would span 39 1/2" and require a 2.5 - 3.5 cc engine. I was wondering if anyone has some experience with this model or can give me a bit of information on it. The mfg is DMI. Also, I'd like to know what era it is from as there is nothing dated in the kit and would a .25 be the right size engine or would something smaller be more appropriate ? Thanks
The Aristokrat Kit was my birthday present back in 1971.
My Aristokrat had Navy Blue fuse with White/light blue checkerboard Japanese tissue covered both wing and Elevator.
My A. did very well with my Super Tigre G20/23 Std. for loops and eighths etc.. etc..
The A. did not survive for a Long time...still a Beginner .....less down Elevator + slack lines,
the Aristokrat nose section was buried into the ground.
One lost (RIP) CL Buddy flew one in OT comp. with his Super Tigre G20/15 Diesel.
An EXCELLENT flying model.
Remember: back in the "Aristokrat Hey Days!" the engine choice was for a .15 or .19 Diesel Engine.
A modern .25 Engine like the OS LA 25 is way too STRONG , for sure.
Imagine the LA 25 can pull a Nobler.
As far I remember , tank bay is not big enough to hold 3,5 oz tank in this A.fuse.
Parra .15 Glow and Diesel T3/T4 , Brodak .15, Enya .15 PB, OS LA .15 Glow for Powerhorse.
A small flapless "Stunter well worth to built".
