Cessna 310, great aeroplane, flew both the short nose Q model and the long nose R model.. I have nearly 1300hours in Cessna 310's.. Great bird..


I know someone with a 1:1 scale 310 who wants to sell it - interested? If he sells his 310, he then may buy our syndicates Laser.

Hey Adam.. Thanks for the offer mate but.... Nah... Too sophisticated for me now, blue line speeds, CSU's, retractable gear and that primitive RMI.. I think the only plane I'll ever own will be a venerable Cessna 150.. :D

Stu...I'm in LHR in another 10 days...I'll go to our fave old model shop & ask about the Navajo.

(BTW, Cessna just cancelled all further dev/ production of the 160 Skycatcher!)

Bro-Plan do a 1/72 vac Navajo and Chieftain. Available at Aviation Megastore, but shipping is horrendous! Else I'd get 'em myself..

http://www.aviationmegastore.com/quicks ... /Chieftain
Pretending to do it TAC style with the big boys since 1987
Also, we don't need no steenkin' VLATs!

Hey salty, yeah if you wouldn't mind that would be great. I might have to place an order with you to grab any cheap airline kits if they are available. Thanks bro! Aye!... That's alright aye! :D

Don't say it too loud Stu or Captn Salty will be the A/CAM bag lady. :lol:

Ay....Stu, Ay....
When I was last at the LHR shop, the owner took me to see his "stash" (warehouse)...umm...he has a LONG way to go before he runs out of your 727's. It was airline model nirvana. Give me a list of requests and I'll get on it.
HKG is heaps better price-wise, but I cannot seem to get a trip there on my roster.
TOAM...I already have brought back a few kits for Stu. Easy in the northern hemisphere summer when my suitcase has lots of light clothes in it.
The shop I go to is not that cheap, but definitely has some occasional bargains and a few hard to get kits...plus there is NO postage charges when I hand deliver the ''package'.

Paint, blades, tape and why is it the paint I like the best seems not to be in stock and as I learned, may be discontinued; Gunze H18 steel and US interior green...
