Replikit.com is a British source of plans and kits of some of the classic British airplanes. The Talon is a flying wing model for 2.5 cc engine. It is an interesting looking airplane, and I have desired one for a long time. I had a conversation with Leo Smith about getting a short kit to cut down on postage costs because length of the box has considerable effect on postage costs. All told the short kit cost $66.45 shipped. They emailed me an invoice and I used PayPal, which does currency conversions. Kit was shipped May 5 and arrived May 26; one end a little bashed but nothing inside hurt. The parts are laser cut and the wood quality is good, but not fantastic. Not included were leading edge, leading edge sheeting, three spars, trailing edge sheets, and leadout wires. A plastic canopy, all other wood parts, and full size plan were included. At the moment, it appears that the Replikit server is overloaded.

Replikit went out of business a while back and then reemerged. I had an email from one of them today with no mention of replikit going out of business. Here is a website, scroll down to the bottom for replikit. http://www.replikit.com/replikit2010/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=94&Itemid=118
