The Sky Bird is magnificent. It will absolutely delight you, both in the ease of construction and its superb flying performance. After many test flights in various weather conditions, the Sky Bird is an absolute winner. We suggest using a high capacity RX battery because you are going to be up for a long time! A novice pilot can have very long flights and land it easily. This is a gentle flying big RES sailplane that is very responsive to rudder control without dropping a wing tip. You can horse it around like it is a hand launch to stay in the smallest thermal and you will marvel at the extremely flat glide that will allow you to cover large areas looking for lift.
The Sky Bench Bird Series kits have a very good reputation for in-flight performance and kit quality, all hardware is included, if you want something extra special to build and fly then one of the Bird Series kits will work for you. E-Powered Notice: The rear wing rod is not used if you install an Electric Motor. The kit is $10.00 less if shipped without a rear wing rod and brass tubes. Let us know if you want that option when ordering.
Wing Span: 132", Wing Area: 1340, Airfoil: S3014

Please note: We regret our prices have risen to reflect the current cost of balsa and other materials. We had hoped to keep the price well below $400. However, the current balsa shortage means higher prices for quality balsa. If our cost comes down, the kit cost will come down too! If you wish to be on our contact list, please go to the "Contact" page and send us a message. No obligation to purchase. We will email you when the kits become available. The shipping cost is $25 in the U.S. International shipping will be at the actual cost.
