The Shindig was designed to capture the spirit of models built in the 1950s and 1960s so no apologies for the 'retro' look or some of the construction techniques used from that era. However, despite the 'retro' look, production of the kit and R/C equipment used is up to date. All pre-cut parts are accurately cut using a laser or router. Materials used are carefully selected for the 'job' they have to do. Construction consists of sheet sided fuselage with internal strip bracing and ply nose doublers. Wing construction follows our now standard practice of a full depth interlocking mainspar with fully sheeted 'D' box. Outboard of the centre section the structure is open and the ribs are capped. The ailerons, in keeping with the era, are built-up and half length. The built-up Tailplane can be either 'banded' on or glued. The kit includes all materials and accessories, including purpose designed servo mounts, required to build Shindig less glues, covering and airborne electrical equipment.
The Shindig has been designed for both building and flying pleasure and hopefully will fill the builder with pride and put a smile on their face every time they fly it! The performance of the Shindig is what you would expect of a high wing trainer with the recommended brushless motor, speed controller and LiPo battery etc. It is capable of loops, rolls inverted flight and spinning.
