Colombo Wide Body

[Thomas C. Weedon]

Ya, talk to yer District VP. Also, the publisher, John Avery, who has asked
for articles from the membership. We need to pass some of this stuff on and
not just rely on the VP's only. They get worn out after a while.

Tom,
That's a great Idea . . . sounds like an excuse for buying a new digital
camera :))
Now if I can get the wife to go along with it ?
Is there anyone I sould talk to about this ?

Thanks,

Steven,
You might consider doing a report for the K-Factor on this plane, including
a few photos. For that price, no one has an excuse to avoid pattern as an
expensive hobby. Heck, just put a good OS 90, 2 stroke in it and one should
have a great airplane, and cheap, too!!!

Tom,
I've just started on mine,(early Christmas present.  The kit seems above
average - only dislikes are the fiberglass work seems slightly below average
and the instructions are far below average( But real pattern dudes don't
need instructions ! . . . right :)).  For $200, you can't beat it.  I'll
have more info in a couple of weeks.

I was talking to a new pattern fellow this week end and he explained to me
the new plane that he is building this winter. It is called a "Wide Body"
from Colombo Anderson in Argentina. It is sold by Planes Plus (web site
www.planesplus.com) The 60/90 size kit is only $199. This seems to be a very
good price and it looks like it may be a great pattern plane for a beginner
of someone with limited funds. Apparently, there will also be a 120/140 size
kit available soon. My question is; has anyone some first hand knowledge
about this plane/ kit? A review can be seen in Jan, 2003, MA, page 148. I
believe we all would like to know more about new airplanes on the market
that can help us reach out to new pattern interested fellows.
Curious;
Tom W.
