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.
