ZAP - Slo Zap CA Glue, 1oz. [PAAPT20]

 SLO ZAP CA Is called a thick formula. The thicker the formula, the slower the cure time, that’s why we call it SLO ZAP. Although it is thick it is still a liquid and will flow. Penetration into porous materials is very minimal. SLO ZAP is an excellent gap filler and provides extra time when positioning wood parts. In modeling its ideal for laminating wood parts and forming fillets. Because its thick, it will not run, it forms a very clean even fillet around all types of joints. The high cured strength means it works great on higher stress areas.

Author: Steve Brenner (sblbeb@roadrunner.com)
This is an excellent kit. The laser cutting is the best I have ever seen. The parts fit together very smoothly. I was able to frame up all the pats in one evening. The instructions are also excellent and have pictures for each step. This kit comes with everything except Tx/Rx, servos, esc, motor, covering and tires. They include all other small bits and pieces down to magnets for the hatch, ez connectors, control horns and everything else needed to get it flyingIf this is an example of the kits, I see myself ordering many more from StevensAero.
I give this a solid 10 out of 10.

Author: Rene Wallage (rwallage@bezeqint.net)
Great and very complete kit with excellent instructions! A very relaxing build, followed by a very relaxing maiden flight. Highly recommended. The build can be done by an absolute beginner.
My next kit will very likely be another Stevens AeroModel...
