7003 Flexifoil Windbag Parafoil Ultralight - 12 Square Foot Parachute Wing Paraplane for R/C

Wood and Metal Model Kit,   Box Condition: Exc+

Rare model from 1985. Designed for Radio Control operation, the Windbag has a big 12 square inch parachute for an airfoil. The wing breaks down to 'pocket size' for transporting. The wing is mounted on the top of an alloy kingpost which gives it an exceptionally low center of gravity so it is totally self stabilizing. From any maneuver, simply release the controls and it will revert to level flight. Even in a totally stalled condition, it will simply lower slowly. But you are more likely to enjoy the fast climb rate and outstanding manoeuvrability including loops. Features precision made softwing with no finishing requjired, compount tapered, virtually unbreakable GRP mainspar, rugged 6 strut light alloy main gear undercarriage, alloy mount for tought 3mm ply foreplane, tubular alloy for kingpost and nose boom, all pre-drilled and pre-formed alloy componants, steerable nose wheel, 3 large diameter balloon wheels, birch ply for the fuselage pod, all materials for the streamlined cockpit, comprehensive accessory pack with all R/C linkage, connectors, screws nuts and more & complete step-by-step instructions with plans. Also includes an RC Model World review and flight tips dated March 1985 that also has a copy of the original advertisement. The model is complete. The hardware is still in the factory sealed clear bag and the alloy parts are all factory sealed as well. The few parts that were not factory sealed have been inventoried complete. Please NOTE that the fuselage pod has been professionally assembled and painted. The quality of work is better than a factory built. NOTE that this item will be shipped in the factory-original sturdy shipping box unless you specify otherwise. If you do wish to have it boxed, extra shipping will apply.
