Rough and Ready Aviation's new kits are smaller, lighter, simpler and best of all, less expensive. In addition we intend to expand the line of kits, as we go forward, to include not only the WWI designs but also Golden Age racers and between the wars biplanes.

Rough and Ready Aviation kits are easy to assemble, easy to fly, realistic in the air and designed to use the latest in brushless motor, Lithium Polymer battery, and micro electronic technology for the utmost in flight performance. Because of the very low flying weights, between 3.5 to 4 ounces for the racers and between 5 to 6 ounces for the WWI designs, they can be flown indoors as well as smaller outdoor sites. The local ball diamond can be your flying site. We have test flown all our designs in a small 50’ by 80’ intermediate school gymnasium.

The precision cut, self aligning Depron™ foam construction produces a strong, resilient, light weight, easily repaired structure that requires minimal assembly. Typical construction time is three to four hours. The uniform density of the foam assures that your model, when properly assembled with the recommended equipment, will balance and fly properly. All our Rough and Ready Aviation kits include everything to necessary to complete the airframe. We can also supply the electronics necessary to get your model flying.

Scale color schemes abound and many can be found in aviation books or on the internet and can be achieved with a combination of trim tape and  latex or acrylic paints. Your plane with your own personal color scheme is sure to be a standout at any flying site.
