I know of several "retired" CL guys here in Indy that might be interested in this. That is one clean machine.

That is a really nice profile. Workmaship is first class.  Is there a good reason that nearly
all these kits are profiles? I don't remember seeing any of your full fuse kits although I'm
sure you must have some. Would look good as a real stunt ship.  RJ

Heck with the kit. How much $$$$ is this one? If we could get rid of the BOM then folks like Walter could get into the building business. Of course there is John Ashford who really builds a super nice plane @ $12 an hour and you supply all the needed materials. Oh well I enjoy building probably as much as I do flying.........and it does not wear me out as much as actual flying. I've got a Rayette (a profile jet style plane by Bob Gialdini) ready for a final coat of paint and then trim art work. It is just a winter project for here in north Texas. And I am getting itchy to go do some flying.

At one time, and he may still do this, Tom Morris offered ready to fly Cavaliers for $1,200.  This was READY to fly, just add fuel and lines/handle. Not a lot of buyers, so it's back to quality kits.  H^^

At one time I used to build for folks also...  then it was into making kits...

So you guys like the Edge prototype Dennis did, my H^^ to Dennis.

B.T.W. we are adding names to the waiting list if you want on the list.   D>K

Hi Walter - I'll build this one for you.  I can send you my build articles that I do for Eric Rule if you want to see my "step by step" building guides.

or go to RSM webiste and look at the Jack Sheeks Mosquito article that I did ( currently doing on for the Trostle TA-152)
