The P-38 is a twin motor, GWS IPS S1 powered parkflyer designed by Mike Molt. While the construction is not suited for your first balsa build, the laser cut, interlocking parts make assembling this kit straightforward.

The kit comes with everything you need to complete the airframe including Sullivan pushrods, DuBro wheels, and micro servo connectors. You will need Solite covering or an equivalent lightweight covering.

To fly your P-38, you will need two GWS IPS-S1 motors (with three-blade propellers), three submicro servos (Supertec Picos recommended), an ESC rated for at least 10 amps, and a micro receiver with at least four channels. Alternative brushless power uses a 12mm inrunner motor with a S1 gearbox.
