by Russell Jurco on March 11, 2024 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

I built this kit many years ago when I resumed building after my growing hiatus. It is the Frog kit number 231. While I have not measured the length and wingspan for accuracy the overall shape seems good. The spinner seems a little bulbous [...]
