WASP is designed for the Park Flyer Pilot. This durable little plane is affordable, easy to assemble, lightweight, and fun to fly. And best of all, you
can set it up to match your flying skills and interests. The wing can be built with dihedral or flat, and can have ailerons for banking, or just rudder.
It's durable too. The fuselage boom is carbon fiber and the framework is all light-plywood. The wing and tail are lightweight foam that can take a lot
of abuse and are easily repaired if damaged on one of those unexpected meetings with terra-firma. The WASP is what fun park flying is all about:
affordable, low-effort planes that are durable and fun. It's unique, it's customizable, it's the WASP.
