| "Bones" shot. |

| Edit doesn't seem to work. Anyway, the "bones" shot. The distinctive Porter exhaust stacks have not been glued on yet. Has a 26 inch wing span. Yes, the landing gear is actually spring loaded with 1/2 inch of travel. I'll post the details, it's actually very simple. Makes the landing gear practically indestructible in a hard landing, unlike some of the other 300 series models. Note that rubber is evenly distributed ahead and behind the CG. Black prop is 7 incher from 200 series kits. |

| 26" WS. Well, I'm getting one! This is one of my favorites if I could afford the real thing. Beautiful job hjlittman. I'm waiting with baited breath. |

| This looks like it is going to be a great flyer. Will it be die cut or laser cut? I can't wait to pick one up. |

| All the new kits will be laser cut. There is work being done to move some existing series to laser cut also. |

| A little update on the laser cutting. Laser cut 400 series kits will start shipping to distributors before the end of January! I don't know how long it will take them to get on store shelves, but look for stickers on the boxes that say "New Laser Cut". The 300 series line will be next. |

| Which means that the die cut kits on the shelf will be discounted? |

| I don't know how the transition will be handled. I'll ask. |

| I believe the price is established by the merchant selling the kit, not Guillows. |

| I was pleasantly surprised today to meet hjlittman at the AMA Expo in Ontario California and see many of his beautifully crafted aircraft he had on display including his Pilatus Porter as well as the Beaver he's doing for Guillows. They're even nicer in the hand. Thanks Mr. Littman for sharing. Phil |
