New Pylon Racers?

[SMOKE]

Hi Guys. Can anyone tell me if the new generation racers are ready and where to buy them? At some point soon I would like to get back into it. The ones I saw the other week were a lot more stronger than the old AT-6's were and I think we could get a lot more people interested with the new design. Also, can anyone give me infomation on what we are using for a motor/ESC/prop combo and prices? I would like to make a "spec" list here for newbies getting into it.

Thanks

Planes
Cassutt:  We contracted a company that CNC machines the EPP foam for the wing, fuselage and cheek cowl blanks on the original six planes.  We cut the stabilizers, elevators, fins, rudders and ailerons from 6mm depron sheet.   It is our intention to sell short kits that include these items and instructions for approximately $50.  The actual cost will depend on the number of people who want to purchase them.  Construction tasks will include fabrication of plywood and wire parts for motor mount, landing gear and tail wheel.  Other items needed to complete will include:  1/32” aircraft ply,  .032” wire for control pushrods and tail wheel, 1-1/2” Dubro parkflyer wheels, tail wheel, (3) 9 gram servos, receiver, glue and paint.  It is not an ARF.  A good deal of block sanding is needed to shape the fuselage and tail parts and quite a bit of cutting or routing is needed to hog out the fuselage for the power and radio components.  Anyone with kit building experience should be able to complete one in a week of evenings.  Please contact Mike Tully at mtullycts@aol.com or Chris Parent (ctparent@yahoo.com) if you are interested in getting a Cassutt short kit.  A short film showing the first test flights of the new design can be seen at: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1015322
