e’re not really big on “what’s in
the box” reviews. In fact, most of them bore us. So we’re not gong to do that here. However, when we did open the box and after carefully examining the parts, and studying the overall construction, it became apparent that this is one hell of a high quality product that The Wings Maker people have made available.
So how did we arrive at that conclusion before even building the kit? By checking the manufacturer’s attention to details, the little things, like the way holes have already been drilled to accept the control horns, how the pre-drilled hole for the canopy screws fit the holes in the canopy

that connect the push rods to the servos. No need for a Z Bender here–just, a 90-degree bend and snap on the links.
Surely we should be able to find some glaring fault in this kit? After all, it IS just an ARF. So we had a look at the hinge lines. No gaps to be seen in the elevators; the same can be said for the ailerons.
The instructions manual that comes with the Midget Mustang 60 consists of 11 pages of some of the clearest instructions we have ever seen with just one exception: Nowhere does it indicate the amount of dihedral in the wings, nor if any is even necessary. However, the wing joiners are canted, so if you glue ‘em right I guess it will be ok. We hope! Any how, with such great instructions–other than how we did the electric conversion–we are not going to bore you with a step-by-step build. But some of the design and construction features are particularly interesting.
