The BlackWing 6mm depron kit comes in 8 precut pieces and can easily be put together in a couple evenings. Kit also includes detailed photographic directions. Remember, it does not come with the radio, servos, battery, motor, supports, or hardware. The BlackWing is intended for intermediate flyers with RC airplane experience, preferably someone who has already built and flown other 3D models.
