A perfect compliment to the Wamira. Not a beginner's kit. - £19.00 plus post. Image
KATAMAX 3.0- Span 18" (45 cm), Length 19.3" (49 cm).

Not a beginner's kit. - £12.00 plus post. Image
POT SHOT- Span 16" (40.6 cm), length 18.8" (47.8cm). POTSHOT is a unique model, designed not only for the fast growing outdoor catapult launched glider scene, but for the use of carbon fibre as an integral part of its construction and a "Tip-up" wing D/T (the only kit available to offer these features). Reviewed in the June 2003 issue of MODEL FLYER and recommended for fun flying or competition you can become a "Hotshot" with a POTSHOT. Not a beginners kit. - £12.00 plus post. Image
