Topic: Anybody got one of these? Anyone??? :-) KI 61

Flight model KI61. Can't see anything via Google. It's 70.8" Wingspan, modern ply construction, light, square and strong. I have an RCGF 15cc, but I think that might be a bit 'eavy for this long nozzle.  Anyone got one?? 

Did you ever get it?
I see HK are doing it for about £100 now http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/%5F%5F18828%5F%5FKawasaki%5FKi%5F61%5FHien%5F1800mm%5Fw%5Fretracts%5Fsplit%5Fflaps%5F0%5F60%5F0%5F90%5FGlow%5FARF%5F.html

Got it. Engine and radio in.

Nightmare scenario with retracts though

I'm sure it will fly nice once I get enough energy to sort out the absolutely stupid and frustrating retracts!!

Have you considered the Hobby King electric retracts for models up to 8 kg for dirt  cheap

I can see lots of small ones for up to 2.5KG?

My apologies I may have mixed my Kgs and Lbs but these are good
for 4.7kg 11lbs

They look more like it    4 ordered!

one thing in that ad caught my eye when I first saw them:-

Features:
Robust landing gear strut and mounting bracket
Built-in 10 seconds over current and jamming protection
Integrated electric motor with a micro PCB
Double shock absorption design, completely protect the gears
Auto 90 degree twist when retracted

which made me think they are twist'n'turn Corsair style

Chinglish! definitely not twist and retract I have a couple in my spares box

bugger, I ordered some 3.7kg tricycle units instead when these would have done and been cheaper.

Has the frustration anything to do with building while drunk? photo2
