Julien Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 This looks good. Nice to see the aircraft named after Vecihi Hurkus, an interesting if not well know early aviation pioneer. Julien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy wood Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Haven't heard of this aircraft before. The fin looks too small in proportion to the rest of the fuselage (on the real aircraft). Wonder what its yaw stability is like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niki Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Nice to see it coming along alright! Will you be selling this exclusively through your own site or will there be some re-sellers in the E.U. also? Also, would it be too indiscreetly to already ask for a prospective selling price? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niki Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Any updates on international (especially E.U.) availability of this kit? Given a force majeure I am willing to make an order directly in Turkey, but for anything bigger than a decal sheet I would rather avoid it - there is no way around a couple of telephone conversations, e-mail exchanges, payment documents presentation (!) and at least one visit to the local customs office for even the smallest parcel coming from outside the E.U. ... And all this while on a sunny day, if I take a good long look, I can catch a glimpse of Turkey Ok, ok, there are a couple of hundred miles more than that, but still...
