Allied Hobbies Integra
Here is a new/old one that I'm going to try and save. This Dick Russ Integra kit was setting on a shelf in southern California at Pegasus hobbies.
A friend of mine was able to ship it to me to see if I can save it.
It is partially built kit and has a terribly warped semi assembled fuselage. This should be a fun one.............
Here we go..........

I’m pretty happy to see that most everything that matters is still in the box, canopy, gear, blocks and a small amount of hardware. These are extremely good flying planes, so if I’m lucky enough to get the fuse straightened up, I’ll be in pretty good shape. Looks like this thing has been sitting a looooooooong time……🥴

Another Cool OLD design...
Judging by the box and the manual .... what a cool - slick design...
What kind of condition is the foam wings cores in?
Sure hope you are able to get it all square and solid...Gonna be another nice looking airplane
Dang, I even have an old pumped VECO 61 setting in my "SHOP". No idea if it could ever run though?
Heck I even have some Kraft radio sets complete with the old batteries...
I did not see any dates on anything. What era would this kit have been produced?

Hey Rick,
Here is a link that will answer a few questions on the design and dating, looks like early to mid 70's
I really like those years as average guys were designing some really nice flying airplanes..........
https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show...-resource-page
Cores are in usable shape as well as most everything in the box, I'm excited about this one.
I'll not go so crazy on wild colors on this one, basic seems to make this design pop..............
I'll most likely use a Super Tigre again, I have plenty of headers for the ST 61-75

Bottom sheeting installed………..
Tough part is over now, fuse isn’t perfect by any means, but will fly just fine.
Someone must have started this in the 80’s and just stuffed it back in the box, the fuse sat half put together for 40 some years all crooked and unloved……. This will be a fun story when it’s completed……..👍

This is the place that I know the fuse will be fine and usable, upon opening the box I wasn't sure if I would have to build new sides or find these usable.
This will be a fun plane to add to the fleet, probably the last one for this winter.
Flying season is very close with all the nice weather we have had recently...............

I love my SuperTigre's
I see that you too, know the ST's are torque engines.
Heck, I run mine on home made fuel that is nothing but methanol & caster oil..

i know there is nothing like 1975 sawdust......................achoo!
This has been a fun one to do, it's a wonder how long it sat unloved and how much longer it would have sat in that hobby shop, amazing that no-one considered buying it at all.................................
I like it and I'll fly it for years to come!
