A beautiful P-30 designed by Omar Grassetti in Brazil (many thanks to him for letting me kit this model). With a geodetic wing and tail and sheeted fuselage, this builds to a VERY strong P-30, a little heavy at 50+ grams. Mr. Grassetti indicates he designed it for windy conditions. With nearly 125 square inches of area, it should have no problem soaring into thermals.
This SHORT KIT contains his original plan sheet (annotated and translated), a supplementary instruction sheet, and 6 sheets of laser-cut parts.
OPTIONS:
- 9.5" Gizmo Geezer Prop Assembly +$13
(comes with laser-cut nose block for Gizmo Geezer)
Here is a test flight on only 300 turns:
