Description
The easiest P-30 you’ll ever operate! If you hate blast tubes, reach rods, stuffing sticks, and blown motors stuck inside fuselages, then the Stick Figure P-30 is for you. You’d swear you’re running an indoor model. Wind off the plane, transfer the rubber one end at a time to the hooks, set the DT and you’re ready to launch. Fly the Stick Figure on 6-strands, 4 strands, or “slow burn” style with 3/32” x 4 strands. Construction is designed for an intermediate modeler. The kit includes a lightweight tapered carbon fiber tube, laser-cut balsa, basswood, spruce and ply parts, a ball bearing thrust bearing, bail-type freewheeler, fully-adjustable front end, the new Peck-Polymers 9.5″ prop (the classic one is no longer available) and reverse z-bend propshaft, winding rings and a simple viscous timer DT system. For full-on competition a better DT system is suggested, and the wing pylon has provision for Hummingbird Models’ Tiny Timer (not included). Photo-illustrated instructions explain how build, trim, and operate this head-turning contest winner. Covering and rubber aren’t included, but either 1/4-mil mylar or Japanese tissue work fine.
Shipping Weirdness:
- The Post Office just began applying an “oversize” premium to shipping. This kit used to ship for about $9.45, the one-pound rate for Priority Mail. Now it ships for about $23.50. GRRR. Unfortunately, I’m going to have to pass that along to you, the customer. Thus the price increase.
- If you order one other kit (even another one of these), I’ve found I can fit it inside the triangular shipping tube without additional postage. We’ll see if that’s sustainable.
- International Customers–It’s necessary for me to purchase a special tube for shipping, and the weight and dimensions push shipping cost far beyond International First Class. Because of this, I will send you an electronic invoice for the true additional cost. Example: Shipping to Australia would cost $68 for shipping plus tube, so I’d invoice an additional $22. For what it’s worth, I’m able to fit two Stick Figure kits safely inside this one tube.
