the tubes will have to be cut to length.
- The kit is intended for the experimental category where you as the builder fabricate
at least 51% of the kit for recreation and education.
- The cheek plates and various other parts are cut to shape and have undersized locator holes.
- The front landing gear, landing gear support, joystick, and rotor head washer are made from 4130 Chrome Molly steel
and they are heat-treated. All the parts are either powder coated or anodized in this kit.
- The tail is made using Kevlar.
- We strive to keep the integrity of the true Amateur Built aircraft kit.
