The ElectroStreak Has Landed!

Hey RC Plane Lab friends,

We’ve got something exciting to share—the ElectroStreak short kit is officially available at shop.rcplanelab.com!

This isn’t just a short kit, it’s a chance to join the RC Plane Lab community in bringing a classic back to life. Inside you’ll find laser‑cut parts, detailed plans, and a few extras to make your build even more enjoyable.

*Heads‑up: these kits are in short supply, so don’t wait too long to grab yours. And since our store is brand‑new, if you run into any hiccups along the way, just drop us a line at ron@rcplanelab.com—we’ll make it right.

But here’s the best part: we want to see your progress! Snap a photo of your build, tag it with #RCPlaneLab (or email it to us), and let’s celebrate together. Your project might even get a shout‑out on the RC Plane Lab Podcast—because nothing makes us happier than sharing your stories with the whole crew.

So grab your kit, fire up the workshop, and let’s make some sawdust. The ElectroStreak is waiting for you.

Happy Building!

The RC Plane Lab Crew
