Okay, there are a number of questions here to answer:
1: The cost of Prowler foam cores with the spar installed and two section coring is $35.00 per set, plus shipping.
2: The same is true for RD-1 cores ($35.00 per set, plus shipping). Yes the RD-1 cores are a bit smaller but the amount of work and time is the same...
3. Sheeted wings for either model (This includes the core, spars installed, two or three section coring, molded leading edge, sheeting and finish sanding) is $160.00 per set, plus shipping.
4. I may be willing to make up a "short kit" for the Europa which would include a Lost-Foam or sheeted foam core wing, built-up fuselage crutch assembly, molded top and bottom blocks, and either a built-up or foam core stabilizer and elevator. Of course the price for supplying all these components would be a bit on the pricey side. If there is interest I will start engineering this short kit and come up with pricing for the various options.
5. In either case the foam cores, sheeted foam wings (with landing gear systems installed), Lost Foam System sets and fully built-up Lost Foam wings (with landing gear systems installed) are currently available through Robin's View Productions. Please call for price quotes (610-746-0106).
6. Before I can "sell" copies of the plans for the Europa with a clear conscience, I need to speak with Scott Smith, to whom I sold the rights to the design. Please bear with me on this as there is too much "pirating" of other peoples work and belongings going on in the hobby/sport these days and I don't want to contribute to it in any way. I will get on this right away. In a worst case scenario I will make a few changes to the Prowler that I've been wanting to anyway, and design a Prowler MkII version. That would solve any potential copyright problems and yield what I think would be a better design in the process. I've always thought that a slightly longer tail moment arm and just a bit more span would make the Prowler a better flying ship.
I will try to dig out a few good shots of each of these ships and scan them and post them here. No time for that right now, however!
Thanks for all the interest in these designs!
