Aubert PA-20 Cigale - SHORT KIT
Aubert PA-20 Cigale - SHORT KIT
A great-flying French pre-War High-Wing Cabin model. The 26" span makes a nice medium-sized plane. It features square, slab-sided construction and a straight wing.
The fuselage construction is straight-forward using 3/32" square balsa throughout. The wing is straight with rounded tips. Only the tail surfaces require lamination as they are designed from ellipses. There are no difficult wheel pants to build, nor delicate struts to assemble. It builds easy and light and the prototype flew right off the board!
Check out the day-one test flight video!
This short kit contains: 4 pieces of laser-cut balsa and a rolled plan.
