'Rubberdub' laser-cut Rib Set

Representative of a class of aircraft that was very popular in the 1930s 'Rubberdub' makes an attractive proposition for beginners or experts. Its semi-scale lines with simple parasol wing mount and use of a standard 10-inch Obeche commercial prop make it ideal for a one-design club contest where everybody is required to build the same model.

Rubberdub is a small-field flier with an average duration hovering around the 90-second mark to give a maximum of fun per flying hour.
