Wonderful Gem

This kit is in my opinion exceptional value. The balsa and ply parts are of extremely good quality and well matched in terms of hardness and weight for their purpose. The die cutting is good and parts separate with minimum use of a knife. The mouldings for the canopy and cowl are not flimsy but substantial and well moulded. Comprehensive full size plan is provided although written instructions are minimal. I think you would need to have some experience of building from a plan and this is probably not an ideal first model of this type.
This kit will make into a fine model which appears to have good flying characteristics and with little effort could be completed to a high level of scale. It also appears to me that it could be made to operate with a small glow engine as well as the electric propulsion intended for it.
I am well satisfied with this purchase and would recommend this company and kit to anyone.
