"Cherokee 40 kit. I'm quite impressed looking at it I think it might be a first run of it as all the die crunch parts actually look really nice and most fall cleanly out of the sheets. Also the balsa selection is really nice, like good stuff I would use when building a 3D model when keeping weight down.

I used to have a 40fp that was piped on a small 3D profile. Fun little engine. I'm done with nitro though. To pricey and finiky when tuning. Then with the acquisition of these two planes the guy also handed me these two little cox engines, Been a long time since I have seen a .049 and the .010 is the first one I have ever seen in person. Thinking I will clean them up and make a mount to hang them on the wall as a display.The only Top Flite kit I built was a Trainer 40 way back, pretty sure it was my second real RC airplane build. From what I remember it was a very nice kit. The wings were built on a supplied 1/4" music wire jig. Powered with an OS 40 FP bushed engine, man did that engine make a lot of crank slapping noise!
