The Freshman Embryo, designed by Ken Groves, is a great flying, high-wing, endurance model. It is eligible for Flying Aces Club Embryo contests.
This laser cut free flight rubber powered kit contains a full-size rolled plan, laser cut balsa parts and balsa strip wood, FAI SuperSport rubber motor, E-B propeller, EBM thrust bearing, clear plastic for the windshield, balsa wheels, wire for the landing gear, and Easy Built Lite tissue in a variety of bright colors. To build this model you will need a building board, hobby knife, fine sandpaper, pliers and glue.
Note: Sometimes all it takes to get kids started building an airplane are some cool decorations for their plane. Ask us to include some of our “seconds” free markings when buying a kit to build with a child.

“Here are a couple of pics of my recently completed Freshman embryo class laser cut kit. I made the wing removable for storage and transport’s sake. I beefed up the nose area with 1/16″ balsa sheet between the formers of the first bay after the nose block. I added an aluminum tubing motor peg to facilitate motor winding on my stooge.” – Dave Hable
Ready to fly in the mountains of New Mexico, young A.F. holds his first Freshman embryo, a great kit to introduce children to this fun hobby.
“Dave, I built the Freshman from the kit you provided to me at Muncie. Thank you. At 10.9 grams, I’ll use it at our indoor sessions which begin in November.” – Jim DeTar
“FF86 came out better than I expected and it flies. Maybe not as good as some more experienced plane makers , but it went about 40 yards on its virgin run. I wished it down, it listened.. It was headed for a trailer (that was parked illegally) and I thought it was going to crash into it. WoW- imagine how it would go if it had a tail wind!!” – Old Timer Stan
