There was someone kitting these two designs (among others) but he is no longer in the business. Currently, your best bet would be to watch eBay. I've seen several Aquila and Sagitta kits for sale in the last couple of years. There is an Oly II kit currently listed but none of the others at the moment. You might also check the For Sale/Wanted listings here at RC Groups.

I am currently finishing up an Aquila that started as a short kit from Dreamcatcher. I guess aeroshere has bought the rights. The laser cut ribs are top notch. This is my first time at anything other than a full blown kit. Hope to have pics of bones this weekend. I wonder if aeroshere will also offer the bellcrank for the flying stab, and a canopy. I got both from dreamcatcher, along with the fiberglass fuse. It was all a Christmas gift from my family. It does seem as if aerosphere will be producing a full kit though.

There was an origional Aquila kit (wood fuse) at Tony and Addies hobby shop. Tony is retiring and clearing out his warehouse. There was also an origional Hobie Hawk, a Jalapeano, Ridge Rat and others. Don't know what the prices were like. Give him a call.

I have an original Aquila kit, NIB, not started, that I've been thinking of unloading. Not sure what it's worth; I might go the Ebay route. If you're interested, send me a PM.
