Dave completed the Perkasa design shortly before his death and it is now on sale.

He complained about the complexity of all the fittings compared with his beloved Faireys but secretly I think he was very proud of it and went to great lengths to get everything right.

The photo shows what an impressive model it is and for what you get it seems a pretty fair price too.

A great tribute to his skills and I hope it will sell well

I had the pleasure of inspecting a kit in the flesh and I must say it is a fitting tribute to the man. Three booklets of instructions and a scale plan, plus loads of plastic and timber fittings. A vast improvement on previous Perkasa Kits from the likes of Precedent and Hooben. Should sell like hot cakes.

Not a bad price for the kit. Personally, i would swap out the propshaft and coupler for more robust versions.

You buy the propshaft as a separate item anyway, so maybe M4 threaded both ends would be easier.
