Now that the Imitation Profile kit is finished, I thought it was time to introduce the Full Fuselage Imitation which will be called the Imitation Plus. 
This is simply the Imitation wing and tail components put into a built up fuselage that has the same shape as the Profile Imitation.
We are taking orders for the kit now and I will post a drawing of how the fuselage will look from the side view.   I will also repost the pictures of the profile fuselage to refresh your memory of the beautiful shape of the Imitation.  The full fuselage will also be made for a piped engine if you choose.  Of course you do not have to use a pipe but the tunnel will be there if you want to use one.
The price of the full fuselage Imitation kit is  -  $195.95 and it is a full kit less control hardware.
The  precision hardware set for this kit will sell for $71.95.  Of course you can furnish you own control hardware if you choose.

Contents of the precision control hardware set includes:

A 4" bushed carbon fiber bellcrank
Leadouts for bell crank
Stainless steel suspended bellcrank mount
4 Heavy Duty Dubro ball links
4 threaded stainless steel push rod ends (2 rh and 2 lh) these are the type that go OVER the push rod
Two pieces of Carbon Fiber push rod tube
Wing tip weight box
Adjustable leadout guide.
1/8" Wire flap horn
1/8" Wire elevator horn.

If these components are purchased separately they would cost $96.00 at retail.




Shipping for one kit is $19.95 anywhere within the continental United States. 

If you wish to order a kit I use PayPal.  My PayPal address to use is mikegriffin1947@gmail.com.   Please send me a private message with a shipping address and we can work out the details for payment and shipping.

Thank you

Hey Mike. I'm interested.

HI Mike.  Here are two Imitations, One is the Plus and one is the regular.  Now for test  flights, when it stops raining.

The plus has a ST .51, standard metal uniflow and the profile has an OS .46 LA-S with a Sullivan plastic tank set up for uni-flow.  I have not weighed them, yet.  Both wings are covered with Polyspan, bare wood with medium silk span,  Randolph dope.  New white and the horrid green is my concoction that was supposed to be metallic green. Well, it is, sort of. Cream and yellow stripes.  Tom Morris controls.  The AMA wet decal symbols are from the 40's I believe. Very old with a free flight model. Just had to use them. 

The UHP kit has only a cut out, but most cut completely through.  Neat thing is you can see the fuel level go down as you fly, assuming you use a see through tank. This is my second Imitation and if it flys like the first one, hooray for me.  Also my second full fuse version, but this one from a kit.  My first, I called the "Mimic", was broken at El Dorado when I did a dumb thing, then after repairs, the wings folded in a triangle while at Paducah. ALWAYS do a complete check on the entire wing after a break in the wing.
