* If you loved the old Florio Flyer than you will also love the Gold-Finch 40 - for your fun/fly events!

The Gold-Finch 40 is simply an excellent overall sport design that can be dialed up or down depending on your flying skills! Whether you need a slow pussycat 2nd airplane to learn your basic aerobatics or a fire-breathing fun/fly monster than you will find it all here in the Gold-Finch’s flight envelope. This plane is simply another in the long line of models that follows the basic shoulder wing designs. The clean lines and strong structure will let you build it quickly. I hope the Gold-Finch will become your best friend by being there for you as an everyday flyer for years to come.
The Gold-Finch 40 can be scratch built from plans or be built as a laser-cut kit from Martin Rousseau of MR Aerodesign. The kit provides a set of plans all the balsa and plywood needed for the basic build. All the 1/16” balsa sheeting for the wings and fuse is measured/cut by you from sheet stock provided. The use of a balsa-stripper tool will let you make your own ¼”sq stringers, LE/TE stock needed in the fuse/wings from sheet the balsa provided. An Extra bonus the kits will include is a set of pre-bent 5/32” landing gear and the 1/8” elevator connector. The laser cut kit fit is so nice I had it framed up ready to cover in about 1 weeks. I used both CA+ / CA- and both 5min / 30min epoxies to do the build.
