This 1960s sport-scale aerobatic RC Aircraft model is scaled at 1/5 (20%) of the aircraft. It has a particularly wide speed envelope, is fluid in flight, and superlative in performance. Model is suitable for sport flying, Sport-Scale, IMAC Scale Aerobatics, or Pattern competition. Design utilizes a midship fuel tank location, pull-pull cable rudder, and a span-wise variable airfoil design for excellent low speed handling characteristics.

Laser Cut, Short-Kit Description

 

A laser-cut, short-kit contains only the basic building parts of a model aircraft. These parts are the hardest-to-make items in a kit, due to their unique shapes in providing the accuracy needed for a well-made model. RC modelers want the very best, precisely-cut parts for crafting their special airplane. They select “laser-cut” kit parts for the precision they provide for basic model structural components.

 

ALL The Short-Kit Models In Our Store Contain All Of The Following Parts, and Are Also Included With This Particular Model. Typical parts in a model short-kit consist of balsa and plywood wing ribs, wing tips (balsa or plywood), plywood dihedral brace, & wing bolt plates. The plywood fuselage parts consist of firewall, fuselage formers, wing bolt plates, cable rudder platform, landing gear plate, tail wheel plate, wing seat doublers, and instrument panel plate(s). Fuselage balsa parts include top deck formers (some models also have bottom formers), turtle deck formers, and some kits have some of the tail parts pre-cut.

Building tabs have been added to the wing ribs so the wing stands up on the building board, a ledge is provided on the tabs to jig the wing trailing edge stock.

 

Additional materials you need to purchase are balsa, plywood, spruce, and possibly pine or basswood.

The builder also needs to cut spruce wing spars, and spruce fuselage longerons; and possibly cut pine or basswood parts for the landing gear rails, etc.
