Twisted Sticks March 2006 Newsletter
A lot of us are bemoaning the fact that there are so few kit manufactures left. I thought I’d make up this list of some I particularly like that are little bit unusual.
 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 
We design and kit high performance aircraft for the discriminating modeler. Some models are sold as complete kits, while others are available as ARF's (almost-ready-to-fly), or ARC's (all-ready-to-cover), or as laser cut wood packs only. Plans are available for most models. Accessories are available for all models including landing gear, wheel pants, cowls, motor thrust mounts, canopies, fueling systems, and spinners."
