Thank you for purchasing the Mountain Models Taylorcraft. The Taylorcraft is a
super lightweight, easy to fly, but fun to toss around Depron plane. High quality
laser cut Depron and plywood parts make the assembly of this laser cut model
airplane kit a breeze!

We think you’ll find this plane to be a lot of fun, being able to be flown indoors and
small outdoor spaces. It handles some wind just fine, so you’ll be fine at a larger
field as well.

Thank you,
Brian Eberwein
