Is there any demand for Ikon kits out there? I always liked them and have several... doubt I'll get to any of them anytime soon.

Emil made some nice kits and there's a small but dedicated following of builders who like his kits. Not laser cut, so there's fewer and fewer builders who are willing to tackle those older kits. But yea, still desirable for some of us.

I’ve owned and built Ikon kits before. I still have a Monocoupe D145 I built many years ago. They were good value for the $$ spent but you had to be a builder. Many things were left to the builder’s imagination and skill to figure out and complete. I’d think these kits would bring good $$ but not a premium like many of the more desirable kits get today.

Well I'm selling off most of my RTF stuff at a greater pace than I thought I would. I'll hold on to the kits with both hands... probably will be buried with them (grin).

Thanks for the input.
