If it's like all the other Royal kits, it's a box of balsa blocks. They would generally leave all the outlines up to you. Most Royal kits were also very heavy due to all the blocks. My brother built a Royal Stagerwing Beech and it was a beautiful kit/plane uncovered so we never covered it. Good luck and buy lots of sandpaper.

Tnx for info Chip i see there is lots of sanding and it's going to be a heavy bird i can tell by th weight of fuselage allteady.
The manual suggest fiberglass cloth to finish it, even more weight don't think i'll do that though. Going to go broke finding
a engine to fly it. Maybe i can find a doner ha ha.

Here's a Royal Corsair built by my flying buddy, He's a master builder. I think it was 48lbs.

Sadly this plane was heavly damaged by it's new owner when a bolt got sucked into the engine.

I built and flew the Royal Corsair converted to F2g racer version with bubble canopy. It flew extremely well on a zenoah 62 . Needed plenty of weight up front to balance so maybe relocate some of the servos shown at rear on plan. Also would upgrade any fittings to more heavy duty modern linkages, particularly on aileron. I did not bother with flaps (no provison for it if I remember) but it still landed slow and was a pleasure to fly. I lost it due toaileron jamming in down position following a broken hinge link hence my comment earlier. Plenty of wing area so should be good up to 40lbs and I would glass . The aluminium spun cowl is a work of art. The method of wing attachement is a bit out of date andI never liked it or how it looked but it did the job.

hey thunderbolt
nice looking plane. 48 lbs that's probably what mine will weigh and what engine did he have in it? Tnx for reply

Tnx for reply EDHAMP
I'll keep the information you gave me in mind as i build it. I know what you mean about the wing attachment I allready changed the
way the aleroin are attached. TNX for info.

BME-115.

The bolt came from the modified muffler. Somehow it bounced back into the piston. It was not the fault of BME. (just wanted to clarify that)
