Model kits make great presents - not just because they look great when they're finished but because they offer the recipient hours of enjoyment, the ability to learn new skills and the sense of achievement when the model's complete.
Our current range of precision laser-cut balsa kits hark back to an era of aeromodelling where "stick and tissue" planes were all the rage and a Sunday morning at the park would see dads and sons flying (and crashing!) rubber powered aircraft in every direction.
Free flight models hark back to the very dawn of aeronautics, when enthusiasts searched for the perfect balance of airframe design and trim settings to achieve the longest possible flight.
The essence of free flight is that once you launch your model, you have no further control over it.
