The basic kit comprises all the main parts in 6mm Depron so:

 

Fuselage sides, top and bottom and strips of 6mm sq. Depron for extra gluing area when joining fuse sides to top and bottom.

Wing - 2 layers of 6mm with C/F spar.

Fin and rudder.

Tailplane and elevator.

Overlander motor.

You need to provide balsa and ply for fuse doublers and formers.

You need to provide all hardware and radio equipment, servos, esc.

 

Whilst the price is slightly higher than to my club mates I've managed to keep it down to £33 plus P&P. (Got to see how much cardboard boxes are to protect parts for posting!)

 

The 'deluxe' kit comprises all of the above plus the ply engine bulkhead, ply wing plates, balsa fuse doublers and Depron formers.

 

Price for the 'deluxe' kit is £38 plus P&P

 

The basic build instructions are on my club's website, BMFC but should be read in conjunction with Terry Anderson's plan which appeared in last Novembers RCM&E. On my club website there are also the rules for my Hanky Planky Wacky Races competition which means that we could make this a national comp. Who knows, it could be a laugh to combine this with the BLMRA 2023 World Record attempt and see how many Hanky Planks we can get flying at once!

 

My finished prototype Hanky (note that the kits are in grey, not white, Depron.
