Larry Richards 48" P40 Warbird - Profile Kit

I recently purchased a P-40 Warhawk 48" control line kit from Larry Richards. The kit was $115.00 complete with plastic canopy. As a young fan of control line models, I have built and flown many of the classics. In the 60's I built most of the Midwest 48" War Birds. Most will remember the wood quality found in the early C/L kits. When I opened the kit from Larry, I was pleased to find high quality balsa and clean cut plywood utilized in his kit. I’m astonished at the quality of the parts cutting by Mr. Richards. I took the time to lay out the entire kit and give it a thorough examination and found no flaws in this kit. All the parts fit snug and are sanded. Plans are full size and easy to build from. Many mistakes were corrected on the new plans. As an old control liner returning to the fold, I look forward to building the new Richards P-40 Warhawk. I have on hand some of the older kits and there is no comparison in the quality. You can order Larry’s kits on line at richardskits.net and a full explanation and costs are readily available for each kit. All landing gear is prebent to fit the model. This kit contains no hardware other than pre-bent joiner wire for the flaps and elevators.
