I really thought I couldn't find this model anymore since PCM models by Pat McCurry have closed down his website a number of years back!

Turns out TBM models have bought over the rights over this model. And even better, they've made it an ARF and cheaper than before!!! It's called the DV8R!!! And I love it!

Spec:
Wingspan : 83"
Length : 87"
Weight : 22 lbs
Turbine : 22-30 lb of thrust
