Kismet build up.

[rob biddle]

  G'day folks, I have recently bought a 1957 mk1 "Kismet" kit designed by Ken Taylor and kitted by Tony Cincotta's "Saturn Hobbies", If any one was interested I'd be more than happy to take pics as I am going and post them on this site. The kit is all hand cut and wood quality is exceptional, 61" span high aspect ratio wing originally designed for strong (merco) .35's, but will probably be powered by B.40.
Thanks Rob.

Hi Rob,

I have always liked to looks of the Kismet.  I have had a set of plans for a LONG time for that one which shows three different "Marks".  Each has a little cockpit difference I think.

PLEASE post pictures!

Hi Bill

I'm surprised this pic wasn't posted by someone "over there" ...
