Gigi by Dave Thomas ~ RC 36" Biplane model ~ Laser-cut Balsa Ply Parts Set

Gigi ~ Laser-cut Parts Set

The Gigi design attempted to capture the lines of the old-fashioned 'cobby' biplane shape without too many frills in construction. Construction should not offer any difficulty to the average modeller, the assembly of the cabane struts to their respective formers being, perhaps, the only part requiring special attention.
