TOMBOY.
Free flight power sport model / Micro R/C 2 channel with modification. Vic Smeed classic design, free flight trainer for 0.5 - 1 cc power.
A glance at the plan of the TOMBOY is sufficient to show that Mr. Smeed is a man of ideas - one of which is to use up all the available space on the paper! As you will see, he has catered for a variety of engines, both as regards make and capacity, calling for different grades of wood and different sizes in wing and tailplane. There is even the alternative of making the model a floatplane (No parts for floats included with this kit), with interchangeable land or water undercarriage! For the sake of those who are building this as their very first power model, I think that the best plan will be to standardise on the following layout: E.D. Bee engine, Mills .75, or electric motor equivalent, 36 in wingspan; land undercarriage - the wheels to be detachable or not according to choice. (If they are detachable, they can later be replaced at will by floats without effecting the rest of the model.)
Avetek have taken all the hard work out of this amazing model the kit includes precison laser cut balsa sheets, sticks, wire and plan with R/C 2 Channel conversion modification drawing and wood parts included.
No covering, wheels or motor.
