Thank You for purchasing the FoamFly Staggerwing!
Welcome to
the world of simple, durable foam flying machines. The Staggerwing is sure to
thrill, with it’s sleek styling, and old-timer flair. This plane is suitable for
beginners, but it is recommended that new pilots get the help of an instructor to
trim their plane, and help with the first flights.
Almost anybody can fly the Staggerwing. It’s as easy to build, and more
durable than pre-fab planes that you might find at the hobby shop. But you build
this yourself. In addition to the well earned pride, you’ll have a complete
understanding of the structure, and if it should ever need repair, you’ll be able to
do it yourself without costly replacement wings and cowlings.
The “Zipper Method©” Construction makes the plane quick and easy to
assemble. All the pieces are specially designed to interlock, and are computer
cut so that they fit perfectly every time.
