RE: Balsa USA Phaeton ll kit
Max,
A friend built one this past summer. He just couldn't get over how fast the build was. The plane has a low parts count. Everything is simple.
The Plane was re-engineered just a few years ago so the cutting dies are still sharp. There was no crushed wood.
He must have thrown the cowl away for it has balsa cowl cheeks on it?
He is extremely pleased with the plane.
Enjoy,
Jim
