| Let's take a closer look at the wings first. Have your ever heard of the "TAVS"-technology, developed by CARF-Models? Well, it stands for "Total Area Vacuum Sandwich" - making the wings so strong and stiff, no wooden or foam-sandwich plane can compete with. A rib and spare structure inside the wing is already prepared for the aluminum spar tube and all the servos. Its made from high quality balsa and plywood, and - where necessary - it is coated with fiberglass or carbon. |

All hardware to install the aileron servos is included. You'll find accessories for your choice of JR or Futaba servos in the hardware bag. |
| While keeping the stabs as thin and light as possible, there are still thick enough to mount the elevator servos directly in the stabs. |

The cowling and the canopy openings are as small as possible to keep the fuselage stiff and lightweight. Like on modern F3A-planes, you can remove the lower part of the nose for engine access. The fuselage has a built-in muffler tunnel to offer the maximum convenience. Also the tunnel stiffens up the whole structure. The firewall is made of best quality plywood and of course, all accessories to mount the suggested DA-50 come with the kit. |

| On all our modern kits, we modified the landing gear mounting. We didn't make experiments, we just made it solid and massive to keep you happy, even if one landing is less than perfect. And if really something happens, the landing gear legs are quite easy to replace. Three screws and that's it - not that bad, isn't it ? |
