This is perhaps one of GWS's best flying and most under recognized models ever. Just replace the wheels with something a little more solid looking and the appearance is not far off from a Cessna. This kit comes to you NPS (no power system), ready for your own power system setup. EXCELLENT model to put on GWS floats. Photo at left is one finished in scale air service colors. Decal kit included (not shown) is like one in E-Starter Twin listing.
This is one of my favorite GWS Aircraft Kits. Excellent Trainer, easily finished in your favorite "Cessna" or r airliner theme. All I can say is these fly great! Probably one of GWS's more under-recognized models. Add your own motor system. Decals included as shown

Perhaps GWS's most famous aircraft is the Pico Tiger Moth. This listing is for the white slope glider version. This kit includes a 12mm gearbox for your favorite 12mm motor. Perfect for indoor and low wind outdoor flying, the Pico Tiger Moth flys longer than almost any other aircraft on small battery packs.

Servos: 2 each 6 gram or less
Power System Suggestions Brushless:
GWS IPS-DX2BB-AXCS with 9-7 prop, 2S lipo 340-740mah, 2 ICS 50 ESC
PS=Pitch Speed. Batt=Battery. FPM=Foot Per Minute Climb Rate. Reccomendations above are all reasonable setups. In designing your own power system, note my suggested range of static thrust and pitch speed. All these setups are 2-3x the power of the stock brushed setup. If you increase pitch speed above my reccomendations, expect mechanical failure.
Note: Basic skills required to press pinion on motor shaft if motort/gear set options choosen. Gearbox assembly and connector soldering options available below. Trexler wheel options requires you bend up your own custom gear with longer axles out of .047 or .055 music wire. This SG (Slope Glider as they call it) version does not come with landing gear. It costs less to buy it this way then add the landing gear to the kit than to buy a package with landing gear. However, it does include a gearbox assembly (no gears) for your choice 12mm motor. It's weird and wonderful world of GWS.
Paint: Testors Model Masters enamel spray works well for foam. Always apply in light coats from as distance of 1 foot or more as the propellent can melt foam if you apply too close or too heavy. Of course airbrushing with water based acrylics is always safe. Always test any method or painting on scrap material before putting on your actual aircraft parts. For the cowl, Krylon fusion paint works well. Tamaya paints for RC car/truck bodies is also reccomended.
Nice little float kit for your typical Park Flyers. Hardware included is for direct fit to a GWS Beaver and possibly some others. For some kits you need to bend up your own music wire gear. These floats will work well on all the GWS kits (and other similar sized park flyers) powered by S-300 and S-400 motor systems such as the Slow Stick, Beaver, both Tiger Moths and etc....
Made from injection molded foam with hollow cavities. Bottom of float is vacuume formed shell that needs to be glued to the foam molding. Expect it to be a little fiddly to get is sealed up nicely however everybody seems to love the finished product.
Specifications:
Length: 21.1" (535mm)
Weight: 4.6oz (130g)
Fasteners: Included
Gearstraps: Included
Being an avid float flyer, I would make a few reccomendations for this float set. Firstly, I like floats with a full length backbone. The backbone provided is usable but a little short. Using the provided bass stick, glue on a strip of sandpaper, run this back and forth on the float surface until you've made the stick groove full length. Replace with longer bass sticks. Also, be sure to predrill the backbone for your fasteners so the wood is not split. For good handling, make sure the step is lined up with the CG, no more than 1/4" behind CG.
Few people are aware that GWS also has larger ARF Models. This particular ARF is a very nice flying sport model. It reminds me of a Sig Kavalier which was one of my very favorites. I opened one of these for myself and fly it on floats! Get a fun airplane here.
Model is reasonably light weigth making it a good one to consider for conversion to electric. My suggestions are (based on E-Calc and experience with these motors):
Sport:
GWS/BLM006, 3S 3000 Lipo, 11-7 Prop, T-Bird 54 ESC
Performance @70oz, 1491 FPM rate of Climb,39.9 amps,8450 RPM,54mph pitch speed,57oz static thrust, 449 watts.
Specs:
Wing span 52"
Wing area 527 sq. in.
Center of Gravity 6 7/8" (rearmost) to 7.25" from trailing edge.
Length 46"
Weight 67 oz.
Engine .30-.40 2 stroke.
This is an ARF-almost ready to fly- model. You need to add your radio system and engine. Minor assembly of precovered components required to go from box to flight ready.

GWS ME-262 Fuse & Nacelle Set One Of A Kind
This is the left and right fuse side, both nacelles and rudder for a GWS ME-262. No other hardware. The part is discontinued from GWS and no longer available. I have one package in stock. I suspect this originally listed for about $24. GWS no longer lists the price. Only "Discontinued" on the dealer site. Foam is white in color and polystyrene.
