Regarding those advertised kits:

AVI was notorious for vaporware. They published catalogs and a newsletter promising stuff that never materialized.

So, I wouldn't count on ever seeing any of those kits. I'm not even sure about the P-Chuter.

This isn't to say that they didn't deliver items in stock. And they did make a few of their own promised kits; the "Lineaus Gigantus" comes to mind.

Mostly, they sold old MPC and MRI stock. Some MRI kits were re-introduced with B&W instruction sheets.

The big black powder motors were not vaporware; I bought and flew several of those.
