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

Here's a picture of the Aristokrat from the DMI Catalog.
A decent newer .15 would probably pull that around with authority.

Cute little model. kinda reminds me of a Cox TD-1 ready to fly with the formed aluminum wings. The other models in the second picture resemble some of the Veco profile models from the 50's. I would be interested in knowing the dates also just for giggles.
Type at you later,

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".

Thank you all very much. I've had this kit on a shelf for a long time, It is a neat looking little plane and I may make some patterns of the parts so I can build one and still keep the kit.

To my Memory
my Aristokrat wing was build like a C/Tube,
Balsawood front sheeting + cap strips for all ribs.
This made the wing much stiffer and less flexible.

just dreaming about building the "ARISTOKRAT--XL" / OS LA46 combo ;D ???.

That might be an interesting plane.
