2023 Club Build – VMC Pilot 20″ for Free Flight Rubber
A great introduction to free flight and rubber powered. The Pilot is a small, relatively simple, rubber-powered free-flight model. Well within the abilities of first-time builders, we think it will be a good introduction to the sort of basic techniques that will hopefully encourage further engagement with our great hobby.
For our more experienced members, we hope you will buy kits too, and share your skills and knowledge. Everyone is welcome to join in.
