Midget Monocoupe - PEANUT Short Kit
Midget Monocoupe - PEANUT Short Kit
A Peanut Goodyear Racer with a difference - this is a high-wing! This is a new keel-and-half-shell design, drawn and built in the spring of 2024. The full scale version qualified for Formula 1 races in Florida in 1969, but was not permitted to compete.
This is a Peanut Scale High Wing built using all 1/16" wood. Use light wood to keep the model light. My prototype came out at 15 grams, but could have been a gram or two lighter (heavy prop and nose button). Parts for built-up balsa wheels and wheel pants are included.
This short kit contains: 3 pieces of laser-cut balsa, a plan and a 3D-printed tail wheel.
ALL VOLARE KITS ARE MADE IN SMALL BATCHES. IF STOCK-ON-HAND IS ZERO, A NEW BATCH WILL BE PRODUCED SOON. SIMPLY ORDER ANYWAY AND WE WILL MAKE THEM.
