MERCURY AERONCA SEDAN
The Aeronca 15AC Sedan was a single engined, four-seat, fixed landing gear light aircraft produced in the US from 1948 to 1951 and designed to rescue the Aeronca company from disappointing sales of its previous ranges. This 66" wingspan free flight model aircraft, suitable for a 1.5-2.5cc engine was first manufactured by Mercury models.

 YOUR KIT
We have sought to improve upon the original kit by precision laser cutting those parts which you would previously have had to cut from printwood. The Aeronca Sedan is a stable model suitable for either free-flight or conversion to radio-controlled. It has delightful lines, and with the recommended engine size, achieves a good rate of climb.

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.
