AeroCad AeroCanard FG
The AeroCanard kit includes a
pre-moulded lower fuselage, top, and fuel strakes; prefabricated
spars and pre-cut foam cores; and numerous smaller parts that can be
time-consuming to make - including wheel pants, canard tips,
instrument panel and various NACA inlet scoops to name a few. The
kit can be purchased all at once, says Russell, or as 16 separate
sub kits with or without the hardware (wheels, axles. brakes, etc.
and raw materials fibreglass, resin, etc.), excluding engine,
avionics and paint. The complete kit includes everything needed to
complete the airframe--even down to paint brushes and resin mixing
cups.
