Construction:
Parts:
T' instructions are easy t' follow, basic illustrations, shiver me timbers, me hearties, ya bilge rat, good order, template for fin positioning, shiver me timbers, which is helpful no issues with sturdiness. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! T' engine mount is very loose and needs t' be thickened usin' maskin' tape. Ahoy! Blimey! no special tools except sand paper and sandin' sealer.
Finishing:
Easy t' paint. Make sure t' use sandin' sealer t' smooth t' balsa pressure sensitive decals, easy t' place but need t' be cut out with a hobby knife. Blimey! Looks great, arrr, matey, but I added a gloss clear coat and waterproofin' clear coat for rainy days.

All around great flights on C6-7. Begad! Out o' sight performance, arrr, straight as an arrow.

High flying, matey, ya bilge rat, but it was hard t' follow, me hearties, me bucko, shiver me timbers, so I used binoculars.
