Overview

Built in 1938, the Stinson Reliant is as much a work of art as a work of engineering. The combination of its gracefull lines and unique wing shape give you the sense it's reaching for the sky even when it's parked on the ramp.

It comes out of the box loaded with scale details like an authentic paint scheme and markings, simulated ribbing in the wings, a simulated radial engine, accurately modeled landing gear and much more. A robust Parkzone 480 brushless motor power system provides plenty of power for everything from half throttle cruising to full throttle sport aerobatics. And it will do it all with the same smooth sport flying manners you've come to expect from a Parkzone plane.

this looks like a very nice plane and one i think i will be adding to my collection

cheers chuck

That does it! I'm telling Pat Tritle!

Hummm.

Do I want the instant gratification that comes from buying a foamy that several other guys will also have - or do I want to enjoy the satisfaction of building my very own Reliant from a Tritle short kit and ending up with a model that is uniquely my own?

It's not a difficult question - I'll do both.

NICE!!! So glad I didn't get the Wildcat now......guess whats on my list!!!

I thought the Super Cub was the first civilian plane done in Z-Foam by Parkzone. Not nearly and nice and this one but first none the less. I do like this one. WOuld be nice to see a set of floats on it.

Super Cub is HobbyZone, dude!

The Super Cub is under the Hobbyzone label. And your right Pax, this plane screams floats!!

Pontiac/Chevrolet

I have a Super Cub right in front of me and it still didn't register. LOL! When I think Hobbyzone I think Firebird Phantom.

The Stinson flies more like the T-28 than anything else. It flies unbelievably well. I hope y'all like it.

THAT is a nice looking model. Do want.

looks sweet! I would like to see someone mod it into a westland lysander http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westland_Lysander

Looks like I have competition.

First thing I thought after seeing that is...wonder if a turnigy 35-42 will fit...
Still...will probably get the bf109. Lovely plane though. Love the wing shape.

Dave,

You guys have done it again!

The gull-winged Reliant is being modeled to death. It's about time. Wait until you see my Peps-Cola SR-7 executive aircraft version.
