Cessna 140 1/4 Scale 96" 90 Size
Regular price
$311.50
A scale modellers dream come true! Cessna's famous two place light aircraft reproduced in our extensive 1/4 Scale Laser Cut Short Kit, complimented with 4 large and very well drawn and detailed plan sheets.
The Cessna 140 was an all metal airplane with fabric covered wings, powered by an 85 horsepower Continental engine. It was pleasing to look at, inexpensive to operate, and fun to fly!
This beautiful model is another of our extensive laser cut scale short kits, with the model made entirely of balsa, ply and spruce using standard construction techniques. The wings are in two panels and disconnect easily for transportation. Any good 90 to 120 two or four stroke will provide more than enough power.
The cowling is included in the kit as as build up from Balsa wood sheets. A fibre glass cowling is available through http://www.fiberglassspecialtiesinc.com.

Items such as wing ribs, dihedral joiners, fuselage formers & fuselage parts, doublers, bulkheads and so on.
Every part which is a complex cut is precisely laser cut as per the plan and included in the short kit. Some kits may also include vacuum formed ABS parts like canopies or cowlings.
