- I looked in the box of one of these last week. Basically the plane has:
-
-
- 1: Foam wings and fuse.
- 2: Spruce strips for spars and fuse longerons.
- 3: Roll of strong, stiff 2" wide packing tape to cover it with.
- 4: sheet balse tail surfaces (I think)
- 5: Hardware
-
- They are very simple planes. The radio and servos sit in holes dug into the top of
- the fuselage, and the pushrods run above the top of the fuse. The kit has
- pretty good directions. Definitely a "throwaway" plane, but a bit on the expensive
- side ($26) for something disposable.
- No idea how well it flies. Definitiely not for windy days, though!
