Blackbird

This is a black version of our popular Phoenix kit. It comes with black tissue for the wings and tail. You can color the balsa wood pieces black with marker prior to assembly. Blackbird qualifies for the Science Olympiad flying bird event!

Blackbird flies up to a minute, and it can even self-launch from a smooth surface. It has a 16 inch wingspan and weighs 1/4 ounce.

With the Blackbird/Phoenix kit, you will bend your own crank wire and learn to build with lightweight balsa and tissue construction. This kit will bring you a step closer to building your own models from scratch.

I recommend building the Freebird first before you try this more challenging kit.
