J&K Products: TR-260+ (model airplane kit) (Evaluation)

Article Abstract:

The TR-260+ from J&K products blends the almost-ready-to-fly and aerobatic trends in airplane modeling. It's a large model that comes in sub-assemblies with skimpy instructions. Some parts fit poorly, but it flies very well and costs less than many competitors.
