Sounds simple doesn’t it? Well it is. My son and I spent a couple of hours on Saturday happily assembling a kit each. Instructions are simple and easy to understand. We found everything we needed in the box apart from a sanding block and a knife.
The balsa is die-cut and the pieces ‘pop’ out with ease. By using a match box we found this worked well as a sanding block. A modelling knife was helpful to cut the dihedral and a rule would have been handy to measure the dihedral angle so this was a bit of guess work. The balsa cement provided is fine for sticking everything together.
The whole kit went together in about a couple of hours and finally after adding the stickers you are ready for a test flight.
Overall this is a winner - excuse the pun! Happy flying.
