Raw Performance: Great Planes® Dirty Birdy .60 ARF- Action Shots

A classic Joe Bridi design that became a popular Great Planes kit, the Dirty Birdy accurately followed a pilot's most intricate commands. This updated version combines that precision performance with ARF simplicity, easy sport flying and nostalgic pattern looks. Its painted fiberglass fuselage includes a removable, painted fiberglass cowl. Bays are built into the wing for optional retracts — but covered to preserve the model's looks if you install the included fixed landing gear. Balsa-sheeted horizontal stabilizer halves slide onto carbon fiber tubes, aligning perfectly, securely and automatically. All control surfaces are factory-hinged for fast final assembly. The model easily accommodates a standard muffler or tuned pipe. A wooden hardpoint is built into the wing for secure tuned pipe attachment.
