I Have one of the First batch ordered.

Is the price going to drop after Jan when they are no longer the special edition?

If so, I'll buy a second one to build and keep the first one.

You make it tempting to fib but, NO the price will not drop, only the extras will go away. The replacement extras will make the kit more up to date. We have been talking about a partial kit but that is "Pie in the Sky" and I do not think it will happen. We could lower the price if we did not shape the nose blocks but that would lower the quality of the kits. The preproduction kit will be finished this weekend, then we can start on the production kits. Serial numbers 001 thru 007 have been assigned already.

Thanks LArry:

I was just wondering how much stuff was special to the anniversary kit.

I'll probably end up with another one anyway.  But I'll more than likely just hang on to the first one.

I was just wondering how much stuff was special to the anniversary kit.

          Here is what you get that is different:
Anniversary decal
Serial numbered kit
Dated kit (date made)
Anniversary Edition box art
Special compartmented box
Vintage control system hook up
Vintage cowling attachment
Original plans
Vintage speed wheels
No plastic bags in the kit
Original Magow type model.
I think that is everything.

The 2008 kit will be up graded to Mark II status more in line with glow engine power.

There a lot of people who are ordering 3 kits.....1 to build.....1 to save.......and 1 to sell on Ebay after January 1st.

Well I've been busy keeping track of orders. Onesies twosies has been easy but I had to expand my order filling system for the Perky. I have it under control. I'll be able to ship the Perky kits and have them to everyone by the 16th of next month.
The clerk and the people in line at the Post Office will have to be patient when I take all those boxes in for processing.

Larry I'll be set to give you a final number of kit orders I have to fill in a few more days. Right now it looks like my original order will stand but I'm going to allow a few more days for the guys that want a Perky to e-mail me and let me know. Multiple kit orders seems to be the norm so I guess guys do plan on saving kits for their collection.

I'm going to get a couple Perkys for myself but I ain't no collector. I'm building and flying mine. y1

The one I ordered will be built and flown also! Now we just need an event to fly them in. Maybe we could use a postal event for a fund raiser to raise money to pave our circle at the Air Zoo?

Get people to bring along Corporate sponsorship for that and you got youselves a circle in no time.  Planes decorated with Local company logo's like little NASCAR planes!!
