This P-30 was designed by Mike Jester in 2020 with the hope that it would evolve into
an easy-to-build kit, especially for beginners. It has a flat wing that eliminates hard-to-
set dihedral joints. This P-30 has plenty of stability in flight and can easily provide
maxes to novice builders. Since this kit was introduced in 2021, Mike’s now-popular P-
30 has proven to be very competitive, even when flying against high-tech P-30 models.
This SHORT KIT contains a new 32"x13" plan sheet, instruction booklet, and 5 sheets of laser-cut parts.
An Optional parts pack is available that includes dowels, aluminum tubing, DT fuse cord, 9.75 feet of 1/8" FAI Super Sport rubber (one motor), a plastic washer for the Gizmo Geezer assembly, and a 9.5" Gizmo Geezer P-30 prop assembly
OPTIONS:
- base short kit = $25
- plus 9.5" Gizmo Geezer Prop Assembly and parts pack = $42
