George, Yes they are shipping kits now. I just received mine a week ago.
Here are some actual specs from my kit. Very nice deluxe kit.

WS - ~74" (Panel is 34 1/2; fuse width is ~5")
Fuse Length - 75 1/4" (rudder to nose, not including spinner)

Weights for deluxe kit:

Fuse as received - 848grams (1lb 14oz)
Right wing panel - 337 grams (11.9oz)
Left wing panel -  306 grams (10.8oz)

Wing Root is 17"
Tip is 9"

Wing is double tapered.

I did not weigh any other parts. My scales are accurate to +/- 1 gram.

Piedmont Models has been outstanding at customer service.

After spending most of the day at the Ocala, FL contest it's got my
interest in pattern once again peaked.  Not flying anything R/C since 1996
it was nice to smell Nitro once again.  And many many thanks to Matt
Kebabjian for putting up with my endless questions today..

Now my Temptation questions..   Does anyone know what the Wing Area and
Wing Span are?  I can't seem to find them listed on their website.    Are
the Temptation kits being shipped yet?   If so I would love to hear some
comments.   Being that the last Pattern Planes I few were Summit III's on
YS 61's I like planes with graceful lines as opposed to "boxy" looking
models.   From the pictures the Temptation's lines are very pleasing to my
eyes..

Thanks,
George
Daytona Beach, FL
