I have flown the Krypton on an SU E30-4, straight as an arrow, good deployment and landed with just a little ding on the nose cone point. The other kits are still being finished up and waiting for good weather to fly. These kits are easy to build and inexpensive. I have built them stock - boring - but they are light, strong and stable. Those witch hats roll to such a sharp point they will put your eye out. All you need is a dowel, mousepad, patience and my method of moistening the paper by simply breathing on it - a porn method but it works. A bit of squadron putty on the nosecone is all the filler I used. Laminate the balsa fins with lable paper and they are plenty strong. Wick in some CA on the boat tails, sand and 2 coats of primer are all that are needed. Easy paint schemes with lots of vinyl tape and letters and you can really crank these kits out.
Love the SAABs! Hey, photo request: anyone built both versions of the Phoenix? 2.6 and 1.6? just want to see the size comparison. Thanks!
