UKEY 35

[ray copeland]

I have seen the UKEY 35 mentioned several times in posts including pictures. Seems like a phantom plane!  Any links to purchase a kit or plans. From what i have seen this is a foamie?  I have a fox .19 and .35 waiting for a foam wing trainer. Would love to have a kit or just foam wing and plans.  Thanks,  Ray

I have a Ukey 35 that I bought back in the "old days" of Joe Just. I learned my full pattern (after beginner) with it and an LA25.

Anyway, if you look at the top menu bar, there is a "Search" tag. I clicked on it and typed in Ukey, and on the second hit I saw that it is Jim Pearson who is selling it. The link was in the Product Reviews. Unfortunately it is pretty far down on the topics and is often overlooked or simply forgotten about.

Here is how to get ahold of him (AFAIK). Try the e-mail address.

I received a email from Bob on the Ukey models, below.

Howard,
Thanks for your inquiry regarding the Ukey aircraft.  I am finally getting back to the business.  Sorry for the late response to your call.  I do appreciate your getting in touch. 

The price for the Ukey 35 is $60 and the price for the Ukey 40 is $70.  Shipping for each currently is $10.  The Ukey 35 has a wing area of approximately 400 square inches and will fly with a .35 engine or a good .25.  The Ukey 40 has a wing area of approximately 500 square inches and is designed for a .40 size engine.  Wing spans for the Ukey 35 and the Ukey 40 are approximately 48".  The Ukey 40 has a wing that is wider than the Ukey 35.

The aircraft are "ARF" and have a solid wood profile fuselage and foam wings.  The kits are complete except for engine, tank, prop, and fuel line.  The wings come pre-covered and are ready to epoxy to the finished fuselage.  They are good trainer aircraft and have been used by many for this purpose.  However, they can also fly the AMA stunt pattern.

Checks may be made out to "Jim Pearson" at 4112 Devon Wood Drive, Marietta, GA 30066.

I hope this helps.

Thanks,

Can't go wrong with a Ukey.  Mine has been thru three major crashes and has been rebuilt every time.  The Ukey definately is a winner!
