Construction details:
Construction was very similar to my Kolibri and Micro Kolibri. Minor is
mostly carbon and Reynolds wrap, with a 1/16in sheet balsa tail. The motor
is a KP00 motor regeared to 4.2:1 and spinning a 4.75in free flight prop.
I used the bushings and part of the housing from a Bob Selman Designs
GJS-1A (Kenway KR-1) gear set. Below is close up of the radio gear and
motor.
