Hi Guys, I want to finally build a c-130 and I've been out looking for kits. I've seen the Jet Hangar Hobbies one, too big for me, and the quality fiberglass which is about right in size. Are there any other options out there that I've missed other than the too small GWS and EWS kits?

thanks

Uncle-Willies has one, but it is of the earlier, shorter fuselage.

Dan Palmer's C-130 plans come in 3 sizes - 132", 87", or 52". I believe the 87" is the most common (it's the one I have). More info on the plans can be found [link=http://www.palmerplans.com/products/c130.html]here[/link].

If you do not want to kit your own kit, several kit cutters cut this kit. Precision Cut Kits has the Palmer 132" and 87" C-130's in-stock ready to ship. More info on the kit can be found [link=http://www.precisioncutkits.com/instock.html]here[/link].

I'll be ordering my kit from Precision Cut Kits in about 1 1/2 weeks (I'm moving next Thursday into a new house). Let me know if I can help you with anything else. Extra stuff for the 87" C-130 is also available - fiberglass narcelles, custom landing gear, etc.

Well, if you have the time, you can check out this thread on the QF C-130.

I have that one. It's more of a "semi-kit", but the quality is top notch for the price. It's really a fun plane to fly, predictable, solid flight characteristics, real scale take offs and landings-not ot mention the sound of 4 engines!! also has a 3 piece wing and detachable horiz. stab if you wish for transport purposes.
