The Cessna 170 is an all metal light plane that has won wide acceptance among Americas private plane flyers.

This Guillow model has the kind of realism appreciated by all model fans plus the ease of assembly and inherent flight stability.

Guillow was founded in 1926 by a World War 1 US Navy aviator and is the world's largest manufacturer of balsa wood model airplane kits. They have an enviable reputation for producing quality kits with excellent building instructions and plans.

The Guillow's 300 Series of popular private planes are still in use today by many private pilots. Whether built for scale or contest flying, the laser cut balsa wood airplanes in this series represent the finest in design and flight capability. Each can be flown using either the rubber motor included in the kit or converted to gas engine or electric motor (instructions for using electric power supplied in kits). Suitable for ages 14 years and upwards, these easy building balsa airplane kits contain laser cut balsa parts, plastic cowls and canopies, decals, plastic prop, wheels, tissue and a 24-page model building booklet.

These model construction kits have scale realism for the super detail fan and light weight for those who build and fly. Each model is a small but faithful replica of a well known airplane.
