There was a thread about this a few years ago, with many asking the same question.
It takes selling at least 15 planes just to cover the development / prototyping cost.
I made the suggestion at the time to get 10 people to put 20% down payments to make it happen: the thread immediately died....

I was #1 in line to put 50% down for 100cc version! And that still stands!

Matt,

This is my third Sukhoi, I like the look too. I also really like the Ultimate biplane. Any idea if somebody makes a giant scale Sukoi kit?

Did you and WMcNabb get my conversation asking fo your mailing address?

It would be awesome to have one of these in 100cc. It probably would not sell as well as the 3d planes however so I understand the low return on investment. Still, I would buy one in a heartbeat.

I'd buy 2 if they were kits and I got to build them. I would be sure everything is well glued and sanded nicely. I know building is not for everyone but currently they are mostly for no one. It's crazy to have to cut cowls after they're painted, extend pushrod exits so pull-pull wires don't rub on the fuselage sides and trim landing gear slots so they fit. I believe kits will never be a thing along side ARF's because the ARF sales would decline. Manufacturer's are in control when they're the only choice.

I wish there were more modern CNC'd or laser cut kits and think more people would try because it isn't stick building anymore.

Wade,

I know there about Dalton, Fibertech, and EMHW but gee wiz can we have some that are affordable and not laser's and extras. I'd buy PAU-like Sukhoi and Ultimate kits if they were less labor, covering, hardware and paint. They are being cut overseas, why can't I buy the parts?
