Fun Science 2024 Division C (High School) – 2 Airplane FULL KITDesigned to meet 2024 FLIGHT specifications for Division C. All dimensions are maximized for exceptional performance. This kit utilizes carbon fiber rods for key components to reduce warpage issues, increase aerodynamic efficiency, increase strength but still allow building to minimum weight. The light balsa ribs and small parts are laser-cut. There are numerous adjustable components allowing for the ultimate in learning, experimentation, and flying success! This kit will build two complete airplanes. It contains two Ikara 24cm propellers, a large instruction package and full-sized drawing to provide even novice builders with step-by-step construction instructions and a full aerodynamics lesson for insights on how to fly and achieve maximum results. All materials are carefully selected to yield enough strength and durability yet be built close to the minimum 8g weight requirements. Precision applicator tips for accurate CA application are included along with materials for fixtures to help hold components into alignment when building. It is packaged with ultra-light Mylar covering and includes material for a covering frame. Custom cut rubber in 3 different widths (17g each bag) is also included. This year’s rules require you to have a box with specified maximum dimensions and your airplane must fit in that box. Instructions about boxes are included, but materials are not in the kit. This airplane will require a winder (not in kit) to fly long duration flights (available on the TOOLS page - 15:1 ratio recommended). Note to FLIGHT competitors IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOUR BOX DOES NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE DIMENSIONS, however it must be very close to the maximum size for this airplane to fit into it. The airplane will not fit with the wings horizontal and must be tilted at an angle when inserting. It is your responsibility to either buy, find, or construct a box, verifying that no dimension exceeds the maximum and that your airplane fits inside of it. Many will use a 10 ream (5000 sheets) letter sized copy paper shipping box (may need the top edge slightly trimmed down). |
Fun Science 2024 Division B (Middle School) – 2 Airplane FULL KITDesigned to meet 2024 “FLIGHT” specifications for Division B. All dimensions are maximized for exceptional performance. This is an entirely NEW kit that utilizes carbon fiber rods for key components to reduce warpage issues, increase aerodynamic efficiency, increase strength but still allow building to minimum weight.

This year's kit is designed to fit into a Model 702 Bankers Box for legal files. |
Fun Science 2024 Partial KitThis PARTIAL KIT contains all the materials to build 2 more airplanes. It contains all laser-cut parts including ribs, wing mounts and tail pieces as well as motor stick material. It also has all necessary carbon fiber rods and hardware bag (similar to the full kit, including all plastic pieces, and misc. small parts). It has a roll of Mylar and two Ikara 24 cm symmetrical propellers. Multiple partial kits may be packaged in the same box. This PARTIAL KIT does NOT contain any instructions, drawings, rubber, building fixtures or covering frame. Do not order this unless you already have all these items from a FULL KIT. |
