Veron "Big Impala" ~ Laser-cut Rib Set

Note: This set is not a complete kit. A plan is not included, and additional materials are required to complete the model.

These are for the 1880mm (74”) version of the Impala slope soarer.

Note that the original kit contained injection moulded ribs and formers, these are implemented here in 3mm poplar ply (liteply).

The BIG IMPALA at 74in (1880 mm) span has been introduced as a larger development of the phenomenally successful 52 in Veron Impala which set the original standard and form for a stable, dependable, tough and compact two Channel Radio slope soarer.
