Pattern Planes ARF GP/EP

There could be worse planes to collect Jon, I'm sure you could think of one without too much effort

So which colour did you go fro Phil?

I hadn't thought of that Jon, but now that you have raised the question.................. :lol: Maybe just "Classic Pattern" would do? After all, the numbers are increasing whether kit or arf built. You'll have to glue your Curare tail plane some time soon.

Chris, they are only doing green not the blue that I have already got...........

It's been repaired since last year Phil, just haven't taken it out for a while

Phil, it looks like they are doing both the Green and Blue now.
Green: www.der-schweighofer.at/en/product/91651..._gelb_orange_1640_mm
Blue: www.der-schweighofer.at/en/product/91653..._gelb_orange_1640_mm

Thanks Hawleye. I don't like green anyway but did not have a choice earlier. I will email and ask to change item for "blue"

It was by chance, I was looking for the Curare setup PDF.

Still no retracts, but my guess is they will have sourced a set for when it comes in in September.

Hi Phil, It looks like another batch of Jetcraft retracts will be available at some point for your Curare:

I might grab another set for future use. I have cancelled the Curare order. Why?

Looking back to November 2015 I paid including P&P £230.00 or E299. Quite reasonable I thought. They now have them up for E399, that s a jump of nearly £88. Then factor in retracts, RX, servos, motor, etc, this becomes a very expensive model. I did contact them regarding the price hike and it has become not good value but I think we got lost in "machine" translation. They just kept asking for the money up front to hold pre-order. I gave up with that too!

If they drop the price in future I might reconsider.

When you compare some Sebart 50E models these now appear quite cheap for similar fun.
