Having promised the FM faithful that Project Pattern Redux would include not only the ins/outs of electric powerplants, but glow (internal combustion, IC) as well, an update on IC is in order. Bryan Hebert recently announced his Shinden would be available again as a full composite kit, with versions for glow and electric. The Shinden arrived on the competition scene in limited numbers in 2006, and was clearly a vision of things to come. Checking in at a full 78-inch length and span, with a 7-inch wide, 14.5-inch tall fuse, today's powerplants (electric or IC) more easily supply stress-free power at the level a large airframe like the Shinden requires, allowing the airframe to really perform. Check in with Bryan anytime on-line at for availability of the Shinden and some other custom Pattern goodies.
