The Herr 100 Series models (kit numbers begin with HRR1) are all originally designed as free flight rubber power aircraft, and as such they fly beautifully. These were the first ever laser-cut model airplane kits on the market. Now in this day of miniature radio gear and brushless outrunner electric motors they are enjoying a new life as radio control subjects.

General Guidelines For Electric Power For Herr 100 Series Kits
Brushless Motor 30-40 watt; 1200-1700kv; 16-25 gram weight (i.e. Himaxx HC2208-1260)
ESC 6-9A - Lipo Battery: 2-3S 500 mah - Prop: 7-8 in. dia.

Many experienced modelers are having a great time converting these airplanes to R/C flying. The light structures and stable flight characteristics make these airplanes excellent subjects for R/C. Unfortunately, at this time none of these model kits include instructions for converting to R/C, however there are many excellent "build threads" in the online modeling forums. Search on your favorite forum for the airplane, and you will most likely find excellent help and instruction.

The laser cut parts eliminate the tedious chore of cutting printwood or salvaging die-crushed parts. Because the laser cuts the parts so perfectly, small lands or uncut sections have been left to hold the parts in the sheets. This allows the cut sheets to be handled. Otherwise the parts would fall from the sheet every time it is picked up. To remove the parts from the sheet, use your X-acto knife or a single edge razor blade. Then sand the edge of the part as required.

You will need the following tools and supplies to build this model:
Building Board 18" x 30" flat smooth board soft enough to press pins into.
Wax Paper To protect the plan during building.
X-Acto Knife With a #11 blade.
Single Edge Razor Blade For precise cutting of small parts.
Straight Pins Use to pin parts to building board during construction.
Sandpaper Several small pieces of 220 grit sandpaper. Glue some to a small block of wood making a convenient sanding block.
Needle Nose Pliers Small pair for bending and cutting wire parts.
Glue Traditional modeling cement is preferred, such as Ambroid or Duco cement. C/A (Super Glue) may also be used to construct this model. You will also need a small amount of epoxy to secure the wheel retaining thread.
Drill Bits You will need the following sizes of drill bits to complete this model- 1/4", 3/16", and 1/8" diameter.
Clear Low Shrink Dope You will need several ounces of clear dope to attach the tissue to the model and to finish the model. We prefer using Nitrate dope but Butyrate dope may also be used. You will also need thinner.
Paint Brushes Two small brushes, one about 1/4" wide and one about 1" wide will be adequate to finish this model.
Pump Spray Bottle Used to lightly spray the model with alcohol to shrink the tissue.
Rubbing Alchole Used to shrink the tissue.
