Notes and Hints
•
The ParkJet has been designed with weight in mind. Parts and reinforcements were chosen so as
to keep the plane light. Special care must be taken when making glue joints to ensure that the
ParkJet can survive rough landings.
•
There is very little that is critical when building the ParkJet. The only thing that requires special
attention is to make sure the wings are not twisted. If the wings are straight, the ParkJet should fly
hands-off without any trim.
