Maybe I should be embarrassed to admit it, but
for some reason Kenhi is not a familiar name to me. The company from Bburbank, California kitted half
a dozen control line stunters, the most notable of which was the Panther, by Hi Johnson. This advertisement
appeared in the November 1953 edition of Air Trails. Another Kenhi model, the
Cougar, is kitted today by RSM Distribution for competition in the Classic Stunt class. My BJM
Enterprise-E electric control line stunter
was cut and kitted by RSM, so I know they provide a quality product.
