Quolefly Savage Bobber S38 Balsa Wood RC Aeroplane Kit

Model Overview

The Quolefly Savage Bobber is a laser-cut balsa wood RC aeroplane hobby kit supplied as KIT Only. With a 1000mm wingspan this fixed-wing, bipe-style model kit gives hobbyists and collectors a satisfying wooden build that finishes as an operational RC aircraft once fitted with the necessary radio gear and powerplant. It combines traditional balsa construction with a number of pre-formed components for a rewarding project and an attractive flying model.

Specifications & Features

• Wingspan: 1000mm
• Materials: balsa wood and plywood
• Authentic scale elements: moulded plastic cowl and windscreen, functional landing gear
• Complete hardware pack included – nuts, bolts, servo horns, rods and connectors
• Edition: airframe kit only; flight electronics and covering are separate

Construction Features

Parts are prepared for assembly with laser-cut balsa and plywood components that sit together cleanly. The included hardware pack supplies the small fasteners and linkages needed to join control surfaces and undercarriage parts, so builders can focus on accurate assembly and alignment. Because this is a construction kit, careful sanding, fitting and gluing are part of the process.

Build Experience

Assembly is a detailed, hands-on project that rewards patience. The build calls for standard modelling techniques and attention to rigging and control linkages. It is a satisfying milestone kit for adult hobbyists who enjoy shaping, fitting and finishing wooden aircraft models. The finished model has the presence of a scale-style aeroplane while remaining rooted in traditional balsa-wood modelling.

Design & Detail

Design touches such as the moulded cowl, windscreen and functional landing gear give the finished model a recognisable, authentic appearance. These details make the Savage Bobber suitable both as a flying RC aircraft and as a display piece in a collection of scale models. The combination of wood structure and plastic fittings balances vintage modelling character with practical durability.

Control & Operation

The 1000mm wingspan delivers a stable flyer that is described as well suited to beginner and intermediate pilots. As supplied as a kit, final control setup and selection of radio equipment, servos and power are left to the builder, allowing choice of components to match intended flying style and pilot experience.
