The DéBut kit is a competition flying embryo designed by Gordon Roberts of the Cleveland Free Flight Society. It was declared plane of the year by the National Free Flight Society in 2001. This is a modern design kit of a winning embryo. It has a geodetic wing structure for strength and lightness, and the wing is removable for easy transportation.
This free flight rubber powered model airplane kit includes a full-size rolled CAD drawn plan, laser cut balsa parts and hand-picked balsa strip wood FAI rubber, TissueCal™ markings, clear plastic for the cockpit, landing gear wire, wheels, Peck propeller, EBM thrust bearing, and Easy Built Lite tissue in yellow and orange. To build this model you will need a building board, hobby knife, fine sandpaper, and glue.
CUSTOMER BUILDS & INFO
"I just finished my DÉBUT embryo, what a cool plane. I plan to use it at our Scale Staffel contests here in San Diego. I came up with this way of popping up the stab to keep the tail light and to dethermalize quick. One small piece of SuperSport rubber glued to the stab and the rudder with the fuselage notched out at the leading edge of the stab. Keep up the good work." - Bob Overcash
"Pictures of my finished model. First stick and tissue model I've built in 40 years. The kit was really nice -- a real pleasure." - R. Wayne Lowery
Model builder Thomas F Jones equipped his DÉBUT with a handmade propeller.
