Kit contains XXX precision laser cut parts, and all necessary hardware.

Kit can be built either for Free Flight, or convert to two channel RC (kit includes parts for auto-rudder for straight toing, a DT mechanism and two control jorns, and fishing line which can be used for DT & auto-rudder, no servo mount is provided as there are so many micro servos to choose from).  A profile pilot is also included.

This is an origonal design with box fuselage, scale rib spacing and scale tail surfaces.

This kit is more challanging to build than our non-scale gliders, it is intended for builders with some experienc, so the instructions although comprehensive are not a detailed as some of our other kits.  The instructions contain many color photographs to help you with the build.
Covering is not included in the kit, as there are so many choices available for this kind of model.  Use anything from Esaki Tissue to Solartext, (yes the structure is strong enough to take the pull of full weight fabric covering!)  Out prototype, shown in the photos is covered in Coverite Coverlite, adheared with BalsaLoc adhesive.
