The kit is designed using CAD-technology and most parts are CNC-milled for a perfect fit. It is a traditional design using balsa and plywood which makes it both easy to build and easy to repair if an accident should occur.

This model is recommended to the average builder/pilot with experience from a couple of models before. The kit takes 30 – 40 hours to complete.

The Safir has a scale contour and if you add some extra details it can be built to a very accurate model of the full size.
