Additional Details
The GymRipper frames quick into a quirky and delightful parasol that features classic lines and generous wing area. Â Making use of popular ready to fly micro electronics, you’ll be able to recycle your “wreck” into this lovely balsa wood model and learn a new skill in the process.

Given the superb low speed flight envelope we find the GymRipper to be ideal for use in small gymnasiums and outdoors in a large back yard!  Pilots young and old will appreciate the low wing loading, nimble handling, and stable flight performance.
Designed as a part of our introductory building with balsa wood workshop series, the GymRipper is well suited to the budding plans/scratch builder.  Build the aerial delight that’s as much fun to fly as it is to construct. Build it!

I have finished the gym ripper, nice to look at, well done kit!

While taxing to test for “straight ahead” trim, my GymRipper decided it wanted to fly. What a delight on its maiden flight. It flies nicely at only 40% throttle. Can’t wait to see what it does in our gym with more throttle (without hitting a wall).
