Yes, I would love a new model of the Staggerwing. The G model is my preference, also, but I would take any one. Carenado or A2A.

I've had the Sim-Tech one since it came out, but the wingtips are so wrong it totally ruins the external visuals. They are upside down! It looks like a poor caricature.

Look at these wingtips...

That's a beauty of a bipe you got you got there modelr. Is the kit glass or stick built? Who's the manufacturer? What's the powerplant? G3000 or? Retract equipped, if so, mechanical or air? That looks nice! Is it built to scale or fun flying?

Sorry for all the questions. I sure miss the hobby as you can tell. I've got kits that can't be got anymore I been away from it so long.

Don't want to hijack the thread, but since it is yours, OleBoy...

The kit was by Top Flight, (just discontinued this year) 'glass fuse, ARF kit, Robart air retracts, full scale outline, built to fun fly. When the pic was taken, 5 yrs ago, it was powered by an OS FT-160 Flat Twin 1.60ci four stroke. I didn't like it, underpowered. Stalled & crashed on takeoff on a to-hot day. When I rebuilt it, (new wings, all 4) I converted it to electric power. Now, it's got power! At 21 lbs, it will go almost straight up. It has been radar clocked at over 95mph! It flies fantastic, but I have to be real careful not to let it get to slow on landing, as it will tip stall, violently.

A lot more pics showing build, crash damage and repair, and conversion to electric here http://public.fotki.com/modelrdh/radio-control/top-flight-beech-st/

My current fleet
View attachment 24166 ALL of those planes are electric powered. I fly them at the same time the guys with nitro/gas engines are up, and fly right with them. Usually mine are the faster planes. Flight times are within 1-2 min of the fuel powered ones. And no oily mess to clean up!
 
Regarding hijacking the thread. OOPS!! I won't reply OT again. But I will have a look at all teh neat toys you have
