Status: offline 		This isn't 1/2 a but still is good to find. Went to a yard sale today and they had 2 kits from Balsa USA never opened. One was a phayton biplane and the other was a smoothie. I've had the phayton before and they fly great. Looks like a sportster which should fly great. Anyone know anything about the smoothie?

and use an aluminum gear. A good strong .45 on
the nose and it is a nice airplane. For some reason
they never seem to be very fast but with a little
help it is a nice plane.

with the pipe run under the wing. A real pain but looked
good.
