Keil Kraft Gipsy Kit 40" Free-Flight Rubber Duration KK2050
Designed by Bill Dean, the Keil Kraft Gipsy is the biggest model in the Keil Kraft duration range thanks to the massive 40” wingspan! This impressively large model is no more tricky to build than the other models in the range thanks to the use of similar construction techniques throughout. The bigger size produces a model that is better at coping with wind compared to other smaller models and the size also suits conversion to lightweight R/C equipment and electric power.
Features
- Laser cut parts
- Largest rubber powered model in the Keil Kraft range
- Re-drawn and re-engineered using CAD
- Propeller and rubber motor supplied in the kit
- White tissue supplied as a blank canvas for a design of your choice
