Product Description
Designed by Bill Dean, the Keil Kraft Gipsy is the biggest model in the Keil Kraft duration range thanks to the massive 40 wingspan! This impressively large model is no more tricky to build than the other models in the range thanks to the use of similar construction techniques throughout. The bigger size produces a model that is better at coping with wind compared to other smaller models and the size also suits conversion to lightweight R/C equipment and electric power.
