Very nice wood supplied, and the instruction manual is very good also. You don't need to build over the plans.Justuse a straightline for the leading edge of the wings and space the ribs correctly to make sure both wing halves are equal length. The traling edge sheetingfits right into the slot cut in the ribs Everything fits fine.Any problems, just give Bruce a call. What a nice guy.

Quick answer is "not sure". It doesn't look like this year. I am backlogged with UAV projects that have to take top priority. All of the balsa for the next V60 run is in house, so there will be kits eventually. I'm still keeping a notify-when-ready email list for anybody who is interested, just send me a quick email. I'm not entirely happy with the situation myself because there are a lot of modelers who are anxious to get a kit and I honestly want to provide them. But as a one-man shop, there just aren't enough hours, and contract work takes top priority, sorry.

I got mine last time he made a run of kits, sometime before last winter. Looks like I might get to it this winter...

Good luck,

A 70 four-stroke is just the perfect motor for the V60. You'll love it

I have found that most models fly well with 4 strokes, I have been using only 4 strokes for about 10 years.

I changed the engine in mine from a super tiger 61 to an os 61 and I did not think it would improve much, but the plane became a lot more fun to fly. I was getting ready to sell the plane, but now I will have to keep it. ))
