HobbyKing™ Guppy Mini Slope Glider Balsa 1165mm (KIT)

Description

The HobbyKing™ Guppy Mini Slope is a brilliant model perfect for those looking to get into slope gliders! Working with European designer Mitja Erman, the Guppy has been refined into a great slope model available now as a laser cut balsa kit. It has a removable plastic nose cone allowing you to make this a powered model if you so choose.

If you have never built a balsa kit before, the Guppy is simple enough that it can be tackled by just about anyone. The low parts count and build simplicity can't be beat.

To complete the model, you will need CA glue, a roll of covering material, sand paper, hobbyknife a few other assorted tools, plus all your electronics. With the low parts count, the whole airframe can be built in an evening. Spend another evening sanding, another covering, with a fourth evening installing electronics. This means in under a week, you can have a model you created yourself, customized the way you like it.

The HobbyKing™ Guppy Mini Slope kit is a great lighter lift slope model that can still handle the higher winds with ease. As the model can break down easily to fit in a small box, it is easy to pack around, or keep fully assembled for when the winds are right. Also available as a plug and fly, pre built version.
