24" VERON FLEDGLING
The Veron Fledgling is a nice, traditionally built up, vintage, rubber-powered, free-flight duration model, with excellent flying performance. Outerzone describes it as "A simple model with contest performance designed expressly for beginners", but we think you might need a little bit of building experience to complete it successfully.
AT A GLANCE
- Wingspan: 20" (50.8 cm)
- Power system: Rubber; Free flight

YOUR KIT
The Fledgling features top quality, precision laser-cut parts to aid accurate, speedy construction and makes for a great flying model. As with many of our duration rubber models, the Fledgling can easily be modified by the experienced builder to take lightweight electric motor and 3 channel R/C equipment, for relaxed summer evening flying.

UK SHIPPING
Most orders are shipped via Royal Mail’s Tracked 48 service.
For larger or heavier orders, we use UKMail/DHL to deliver your package on a Next Working Day service.
Shipping is free to UK Mainland addresses for orders over £30.00, otherwise we charge £6.00 for Royal Mail Tracked 48 parcels and £12.00 for UKMail/DHL Nest Working Day.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING
Smaller items
Items that fit within Royal Mail International Tracked Medium Parcel parameters (59cm x 17cm x 15cm weighing less than 2kg) can be sent to most countries outside the UK.
For example up to 3 of our smaller 18” wingspan kits can fit into one of these parcels.
A parcel like this currently costs around £14 to Europe and around £18 to send to the USA and will take up to 3 weeks to arrive. This is because Royal Mail hands over the parcel to the local Post Office service for your country who have to clear it through customs and then deliver it to you.
The Royal Mail tracking code also transfers over to the tracking for your country’s postal service.
Larger items
For items that do not fit within Royal Mail International Tracked Medium Parcel parameters, we use standard international couriers such as DHL, FedEx and UPS.
These companies use something called volumetric weights to calculate the cost of shipping.
For example, a Balsa Basics RC bundle kit that measures 102cm x 34cm x 16cm and weighs 2.5 kg is actually calculated at 14kg!
This makes these very expensive to send outside the UK - a large kit can cost nearly £40 to send to France.
Loving looking model with everything included in the box. As a complete beginner I purchased this as it was listed as suitable for beginners like me. However after looking at the plans I was a little overcome by some of the terms and techniques required and some of the instructions lfet me baffled. I would instead rate this for an intermediate experienced modeller.
