Unlike most other ducted fan kits on the market, this 1 18 scale Byro-Jet powered fighter offers a whole lot more kit for your money. Every item needed to complete the project is in cluded, except of course the engine, fan, radio, paint and glue. We call this approach our "Complete Kit Concept." Each and every component has been specially designed, manufactured or purchased to meet our specific quality, performance and dependability requirements. Kit in cludes: a highly detailed fiberglass fuselage, injection molded wings and control surfaces, precise die-cut wood parts, wheels, landing gear, cockpit interior, canopy, decals, plus all the assorted hardware required. Unique Plug-In Wings & Aileron Linkage system are also standard equipment. They make removing wings for transport a quick and simple operation. Optional Quick-Connectors, another Byron Originals ex clusive, makes hooking up your pneumatic retracts as simple as plugging in the wings.
