Model Airplane Tool Kits
Questions about building an Ultralight airplane?
I would love to build one of these things, but I was curious about a few things:
1) How much money can I expect to spend (plans, parts, tools, etc.) for a fairly basic model?
2) How much time will it take an average person with little experience in this type of area?
3) How much money will it cost me to get some professional instruction about how to fly it?
4) What do you think would be a good kit for a newbie?
Thanks guys!!
There is simply too much info to write here, but ultralightnews.com has excellent reviews on almost every model ever built, and can direct you to many useful sources.
Personally I like the Hummel Bird, which is probably one of the best ultralights for the best cost and time to build.
