Perfect for microRC conversion.
Bought this kit as 1 of 2 to get myself back into the hobby and to convert to RC using micro servos (HK5320s) and Plantraco radio gear.The Die-cut balsa was good quality, not contest grade, but suited to RC conversion - Many people who convert these kits to RC cut new parts out of lighter grade balsa. See the RCgroups forums for more info and examples. Parts come out easily with some light sanding on the back ot the sheets.Kit went together well and although not flown yet I'm confident it will.Overall a good kit and good model for any experienced modeller to have a go at converting these kits to micro RC. If your completly new to the hobby, you might find it a bit of a challenge, but not impossible with a little care and patience.

A GOOD BUILD
I bought this kit a month ago, and have spent about two hours a day with the construction. A very good kit with excellent plan drawings and simple to follow instructions. I,ll be buying more!
