Dale1416 | 11-Oct-11 22:44 | Dumas kit 211, 17 1/2" wingspan, Skymaster kit, came out in 1997. Realized it was out of production, when I recently tried to order it from Dumas. However, available from Penn Valley Hobby Center, Lansdale, PA 19446, for $18.23 plus shipping. This company is a small operation that buys up old and out of production kits. |

Dale1416 | 13-Oct-11 10:43 | Thanks guys for your comments. Your question fstengel .... my Skymaster won't be getting any air time. Since you also made the Dumas Skymaster, what kind of flyer was it? Dumas didn't supply the different pitch propellers required for the push-pull configuration. |
fstengel | 13-Oct-11 13:02 | I only use the front propeller. I have had trouble trimming the aircraft. It flies quite well, but I had to put a lot of downthrust: a shim of about 1-1.5mm on the top of the noseplug. Honestly I have seen better flyers. |
