Additional Details

Features:

  • Simplified construction makes for an Ideal entry into both Model Building and Control Line flying.
  • Quiet clean electric motor fly in neighborhood parks, large backyards, and even indoors!
  • Light yet rugged airframe survives the rigors of training.
  • Spring loaded landing gear smooths out the bumps and absorbs those less than perfect landings without damaging the airframe it’s attached to.
  • Ground adjustable throttle combined with electric power system (see “You’ll Need” tab below) allows you to dial in a flying speed from mild to wild and flight duration from one to several minutes.

Product Includes:

  • Precision laser cut balsa and hardwood components.
  • Wire for landing gear, control horn, linkage, and bellcrank.
  • Motor mount.
  • Full-size printed plans (as originally published) and copy of construction article from BalsaBuilder Magazine.

Required To Complete:

*Control line purists will appreciate our Control Line Timer: throttle and flight duration are ground adjustable, and a realistic brap… brap! warns you when the flight is coming to an end. For training, a micro receiver and transmitter can take the timer’s place, so an instructor can start and stop the flight for a new pilot.
