| Does anyone happen to have an unbuilt Guillows kit series 300 of the Fi 156 Storch that they would be willing to sell. It is out of production. |

| Jerry, I have a couple sets of plans (pdf) for the Fi 156. Not Guillows, but very similar. I can e-mail them to you would like. Phil |

| Phil, I have a couple sets of plans including the Guillows plans that DD graciously sent me some time ago. I also have the 30" Dumas kit, however the Guillows kit is 1/24th scale (24"), and it is easier to build a kit if I can find one rather than scratch building from plans. But thanks for your offer. |

| I need plans for it! I have been looking everywhere for them. And i really want to make one for my dad, because when i was 3 years old he had a Fi 156 with 3 meters wingspan. And he traded it for a heli.. and i made sure he felt bad for it. So i want to give him one with something like a meter of wingspan. |

| As Jerry said, Dumas makes a kit with a 30" wingspan. |

| Jerry they have a laser cut short kit at http://dpcmodels.homestead.com/ that is drop dead gorgeous. They don't have plans, but will send a pdf file to your e-mail address. I have this in my to do list and it is perfect. It is based on the 300 series guillows. |

| One note, they don't have the decals, but that should not be a problem for you. |

| Sweet! I never knew that DCP had those short kits available. Thanks Lukebozek1. Phil |

| lukebozeck1 I looked at the dpcm site and have already ordered a short kit of the Storch. As I said I have the Guillows plans, getting the laser cut short kit will be a godsend. Thanks loads |

| You need to check in with this company. They are always working on something new, it is possible that they might even have a short kit for a Mosquito wing. The DR-1 which I purchased is a beautiful kit. Laser cut parts and excellent plans. A very nice kit at a very nice price. |

| what classifies a model as a short kit? |
| pfinn | 22-Jul-11 23:26 |
| A "Short Kit" is usually just any "Shaped" parts, in this case the laser cut parts. Any stringers or sheeting, covering is not included. Some include a vac canopy (if needed) some not. |

| No wheels, no plastic or rubber. The "short" kit does have the wood material for a balsa cowling. No strip wood or spars for the wing. You need a few pieces for the leading and trailing edge. |
