One of the best woody XC ships. The Merlyn by Ken Bates "maybe" better, but IT IS NOT KITTED AS OF YET!
Therefore the best XC woody is the ASTRO-JEFF. Beautiful fiberglass fuse with CF/kevlar from Ed Whyte and Merrill Brady. Laser cut ribs, stab and fin/rudder ribs, and small parts package from Laser Innovations. SIG and Balsa USA Contest Balsa. Plans, canopy, 2 ejector rods, and hardware from Vintage Sailplaner.
Astro Jeff - Best Darn Woody XC
WS 157"
The fuse is NOT in two pieces!!!! The whole fuse would not fit in the pic - so I used two different fuses in the picture above!!
Astro Jeff: Full kit $325 [plus actual shipping cost]
Astro Jeff short kit $225 (shown above) [plus actual shipping cost]
As you can see the Astro Jeff is a very sweet looking plane when ready to fly. ...And it does so like to fly
