I have a full set of laser cut parts to build an F-104 Starfighter. I bought a couple kits awhile back and one of the kits was for a friend, but he never paid me, so I'm selling the extra set of parts from the kit. The kit originally came with hand cut balsa pieces. Meaning they were done on a band saw. My friend wanted basswood instead for the added durability and strength. Keep in mind you will have to carefully check the CG and CP and make sure that they are within safe limits. With the stock [pieces (balsa) the kit requires 12oz of nose weight. Using the basswood will change that amount.

See build thread below:

Price lowered to $30
I'll take 'em! After careful examination- my old NCR bird is toast. Chute hung up on a pitot and it flat spun in but still munched pretty bad. Summer is building time! Dan- Going to LDRS? Let's hang out a bit and catch up. If not-lemme know. Hope to C'ya there.
