  Park Flyers are small enough to fly in almost any open space near your home
    such as football fields, parks, school gymnasiums or even a back yard.
These planes are also convenient to transport, fitting easily into a back seat.
  They are capable of incredible slow-speed flight, giving first-time pilots
           maximum reaction time and a head start towards success.

FEATURES: Laser cut balsa construction
          Flat-Bottom airfoil
          Complete, detailed plans and instruction manual ease kit construction

            a weekend project for beginners.
          Strong enough to withstand less-than-perfect landings, yet so light
            that all-up weight barely reaches one pound.
          Landing gear included (hand or ground takoff)(see COMMENTS)

          Weight is critical on small, lightweight electric models such as this
            Model's performance will be noticably increased by hand-launching
            and smooth surface landing.
