“Here’s the big Rearwin Speedster kit. Looks like it will be a great flyer as soon as I get it fully sorted. Wing is detachable for transporting. Because of your great wood selection in this kit, she came out at 115gm/155gm all up. Pretty good for a full scale ship this big.” – Duke Horn

Buzz Trabbic’s beautiful Speedster has been modified to include removable wings.

“The wings, struts, nose package and landing gear are removable. The wing is attached internally using rubber bands while the lower end of the struts fit into a slot in the fuselage and the top ends use T pins to snap into pieces of PETG plastic that are glued to the wings. The landing gear and nose block are held on by Moses Magnets.” – Al Yunker
