GWS Formosa

Post by Vipertech13 »

Well as most of you guys know I have had a busy off season. I shared the build of the GWS formosa II and I bought the first Formosa on sale for $29.95 US. I did not bother with a build log of this kit plane because it was kind of elementary but I thought you might like to see it anyway.

The most interesting/complicated part of the build is the pool noodle wheels. Cheap and work really well on grass runways.
