The gino model glider kit can be built as an excellent free-flight glider or, if desired, fitted with miniature radio control equipment for 2 channel control elevator and rudder . Please note that whilst the radio control installation is shown on the detailed plan, no radio control equipment is supplied with this kit. However, the 2 bowden cables and control horns are provided. The gino glider has a built-up wing, carbon fuselage rod and adjustable flight control surfaces. This is a very complete kit which includes precision laser-cut plywood and balsawood parts which are marked with part numbers to aid assembly. The elevator, rudder and associated trim tabs are fitted using the supplied wire hinges, enabling adjustment prior to each flight. This excellent feature is very useful for teaching inexperienced modellers the fundamentals of aerodynamics and the effect of control surface deflection to flight patterns. Alternatively, the control surfaces can be fitted using the included nylon material to provide the correct amount of deflection for fitting radio control. The kit comes with a detailed coloured plan sheet which has each part number clearly marked and cross-referenced to the contents. The gino is suitable for hand-launching as a chuck glider or it can be launched using a bungee not supplied . Ballast weights are provided for adjustment of the centre of gravity. The kit even contains the tissue paper required to cover the built-up wings and coloured decals to finish ...
