Title: Walter Umland's Kit list
Post by: Jay on June 18, 2024, 07:37:42 PM: I was told that Walter Umland made an Impact kit at one time.
Does anyone know if this is true?
Also does anyone have a list of the kits that he did make?
Thanks guys
Jay

Walts first kit was the Super Duper Zilch, he did F5F, Spitfire, Sea Fire, Trophy Trainer, 660 Stiletto, profile Stiletto, USA 1, Volunteer, Galloping Comedian, Ringmaster Imperial, International Stunt winner, several llimited production such as the Howard Ike, and more I cannot think of yet.

I crashed the 576 and destroyed the fues but the wing survived. Walter cut me a replacement electric fuselage. Walter was one of the best in our hobby.

Post by: Ty Marcucci on June 22, 2024, 10:40:06 AM: HI Paul.. Walter was very ill and the wing sat for months. I did what little I could. I ended up with most of the "kit". Ronnie Thomson got the wing and parts, but I am not sure if he used the same fuselage. I do know he finished a model he called the Predator, maybe because of the wing. If you are at the Nats, so is he. H^^ He is doing free flight as well as CLPA.
