This meticulously crafted model features near-scale design, textured surfaces, and animatable control surfaces, as well as retractable landing gear. The propeller moves realistically, while the canopy opens to reveal intricate details of its instrument panel, seat arrangement, and controls. Available in various formats and paint schemes, this scale model replicates Ken Rand's experimental design from the 1970s - a lightweight, fast, and affordable single-seat aircraft built with composite materials like micro-bead foam, fiberglass cloth, epoxy, and wood. Powered by a VW engine (36 to 75 horsepower), it boasts a cruise speed of 130 mph and a top speed of 140 mph, along with a 7.5-gallon fuel tank granting a range of 400 miles. Its mechanical landing gear retracts for an authentic touch, while its compact dimensions (12 feet long, 17 feet 6 inches wingspan) make it an impressive display piece.
