Crafted with precision, this nearly life-sized model features textured surfaces and moveable control mechanisms alongside retractable landing gears. The propeller is animated, while the canopy opens to reveal detailed interiors. The aircraft is available in diverse formats and paint schemes. Developed by Ken Rand during the 1970s, this home-built experimental airplane aimed for a balance of affordability, simplicity, and speed. Employing composite materials like micro-bead foam, fiberglass cloth, epoxy, and wood, it had a lightweight body powered by a 36 to 75 horsepower VW engine. This enabled cruise speeds of up to 130 mph and top speeds of 140 mph. The aircraft had a 7.5-gallon fuel tank and offered a range of 400 miles, with mechanically retractable landing gears. It measured 12 feet in length and boasted a wingspan of 17 feet, 6 inches.
