Kit Features


Our short kits feature laser cut balsa and aircraft grade plywood, vacuum formed parts, full size plans, and illustrated construction manuals. You provide the sheet balsa, hardware, and a few odds and ends.

1/6 Scale LTR-14 Turner Special


Our 1/6 Scale LTR-14 Turner Special was originally featured in the December, 2009 issue of Model Aviation magazine. This classic 1930's racer features traditional balsa and plywood construction with a foam core wing. The task of installing the scale fuselage stringers is straight forward since all the notches are laser cut for a perfect fit. Options for functional flaps are included. The recommended power is a Hacker A30-10XL and 3200 to 5000 mAhr 3S LiPo pack. Flight performance is nothing short of great. This is one of the best sport planes we have ever flown.

1/6 Scale Wedell-Williams Model 44 (Now Available)


Our award winning Wedell-Williams Model 44 is featured in the May 2010 issue of Flying Models magazine. This classic 1930's racer features traditional balsa and plywood construction with a unique wing latch mechanism for easy field setup. A integral laser cut plywood crutch makes the fuselage construction a snap. The recommended power is a Hacker A30-10XL and 3200 to 5000 mAhr 3S LiPo pack. Flight performance is very stable and predictable.

1/12 Scale Waco YMF-5


This 30" span scale version of this beautiful golden age biplane features traditional balsa and plywood construction. The airframe structure is as close to scale as we can get it with the proper rib and stringer spacing. Full four channel control makes it a nice performer. Power comes from a geared AstroFlight 010 and a 3 cell 1320 LiPo pack. Flight times in excess of 20 minutes are the norm while you tool around the sky.

de Havilland D.H.-88 Comet


This kit is of the famous long distance racer, the de Havilland D.H.-88 Comet. This 50" span model features traditional built up construction.  The scale outline of the original has been maintained. Enlarged wing tips and washout give this thoroughbred racer gentle flight characteristics.


Hughes H-1 Racer 


This 1/12 scale model of Howard Hughes H-1 Racer features a built up fuselage and foam core wing. It is well suited for a variety of brushless motors and 3S LiPo power. Originally featured in the August, 2006 issue of Model Aviation magazine, we can now offer a complete short kit.
