Why hasn't Motion posted anything about this new release? I ordered mine and patently waiting. Rex

Davegee,
I couldn't resist as I'm still working on my Jerry Bates Boeing 90" F4B-4. Need to finish it. As I have been flying up a storm with my other planes I thought a little P-12 would be fun, only 43.5" but bi-planes of this era haven't been produced until now. I'd like to see Curtiss F11-c Goshawk and a Grumman F-3-F. I'll let you know how build/flying goes when it arrives. Supposed to be here next week. I plan to get it in the air asap.
Best Regards, Rex
PS- Horizon notified me today that my bomb drop mechanism is shipping this week. Will install on my FMS P-47. Ordered this back in June, slow boat from China.Comment

My P-12 arrived today and after taking it out of the box and laying out the parts I must say this is a very good looking plane. Lots of scale features. Took less than an hour to assemble (really just bolt together). Nice touch with Allen head bolts and screws. The landing gear and main cabanes are metal and alighn perfect. The wheels are around 3 3/8" in diameter and should handle well on our grass field. The recommended battery fits well but is a bit tight to put the battery strap on. Not a major problem just my fingers don't work like they used too. Instructions are good also. With battery in it balances a little nose down, perfect at the 75mm setting. Setting up the radio now so maybe the test flight tomorrow. A very nice wooden, painted propellor is included also with prop decals. Motion and Chris Wolfe have done a fine job.
A few scale details I will do after flying season is over: detail engine, add machine guns in the gun cavity, weather it (most planes show a little use) Overall a very detailed model.
Davegee - this is a model you would enjoy, if it flys as good as it looks then this will be in the same quality as the Flight Line products.
Best Regards, RexComment

Great report, Rex! I am thinking of getting one before winter sets in for at least a few flights this year. I love these classic old airplanes!
Please give us a flight report when you do have a chance to fly it.
cheers

Davegee,
Better get on there list Motion says it's sold out. Lots of scale details OEM, corrugations on the tail surfaces, radial eng has high detail just needs scaled out, plug wires, paint etc. Dan could re-paint the pilot into an oil smeared faced pilot. Scale droppable gas tank, LOL
Later, RexComment
