It will take you
approximately 3-4 hours of construction time after painting to complete it if you have RC modeling experience.
If you're a beginner in RC modeling then allow a weekend to get the project
completed and have your HoverDart hovering.

and operating rudders are all molded in robust Acrylic and ABS.
Also included is the motor, propeller, ready-made skirt assembly,
buoyancy foam, motor mount, propeller, adapter, wire, connectors
