This is an all balsa and poplar plywood build up plane with clear front windows. The kit features laser cut interlocking parts and includes all the balsa and plywood necessary to complete the model. Plans are full size CAD drawn on two sheets, showing all the parts in full size. The building manual with photos and sketches will guide you through the construction process. You would have to acquire the hardware, landing gear, motors, electronics and the usual supplies to complete the kit.
 

The plane is easy to fly and very stable. It flies slow and therefore is suited for scale like flying.  Twins are especially well suited for electric power since the motors will always turn at practically the same RPM with little chance of  one motor quitting on you. The fuselage is made from laser cut formers and 1/4" balsa sticks. The wing is conventional flat bottom with leading and trailing edge sheeting.  It flies off short grass with the electric power configuration. A large frontal hatch allows for easy battery access.
