Looking to build Fw 190-60 size-aprox.65-70 inch span. Can't find a Topflite kit-discontinued unfortunately. Any ideas wear to find this kit or equivalent plane.

If you check their site, they DO ship to Canada (noted as international orders. It's true they have bumped their prices over the summer. Some don't think it's worth paying that kind of money for laser cut quality.

As an example, I got their FW190 A8 at Toledo last spring for $189. I think it's now $289.

They also have Dora's.

I especially like Skyshark cuz they put out quality off-beat laser cut kits (like the Val and the Bf109Z). 60 size kits.

NO MUSTANGS ! ! ! Which is a relief because it's been done to death.

Consider going to Toledo in April for a weekend and pick up a couple. Save the shipping charges.

Well if they will ship to Canada that's great! I think the kits look fantastic and the feed back on the quality is awsome. I had read on RCUniverse somewhere, that a fellow from Canada wanted one and was complaining they would not mail to Canada and he got a little bashy on the U.S., the thread went on to almost a, Canada against U.S/U.S against Canada spat. I think it was until someone from skyshark wrote on and explaned why for the price increase and why he would rather not ship to Canada. It was the pain at the boarder with Customs. He got tired of dealing with customers not getting there kits and it was our customs fault.That is what I read off the thread.
If someone living in Canada wants to buy a kit .Give Skyshark a call or e-mail and discuss it with the owners,That way you will know for sure.
I have e-mailed him looking for parts and was he very helpful .If they had a 80" 109g kit I wouldn't hesitate to get one.
