A classic P-30 design from 1977 - Phil Hartman/Blue Ridge Models - now laser-cut!  Some small modifications have been made, mostly to ease production of the short kit.  I have traced and re-drawn the original plan and have included new construction notes.  This is a fast-building kit since all of the parts are laser-cut, except the spars and fin diagonals.  My prototype build came out at 37 grams, ready to fly, without rubber, so you should have no trouble building it close to the minimum 40 grams.  The traditional and original fuse DT on the tail is shown on the plan, but you could always change that to a different type (viscous, mechanical, electronic).
This SHORT KIT contains a new 32"x13" plan sheet, original instruction booklet, and 5 sheets of laser-cut parts.
OPTIONS:
- copy of original Blue Ridge plan   +$5
- 9.5" Gizmo Geezer Prop Assembly  +$13
- BOTH for +$18
