Now don’t confuse this with a trainer model, but rather it’s aimed at modelers who are bored with their RTF trainer, or maybe those who have been flying for years and are looking to build a kit for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6Nktl6kfw5A\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing precision, laser-cut, interlocking parts along with our unique WEB-LOCK construction and built-in alignment jigs, the Mambo can be built straight and true - using a minimum parts count and a minimum amount of fuss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncluded in each Mambo kit are full-sized rolled plans, a printed construction manual, pre-bent main gear, and a premium hardware package from brand-name, USA manufacturers (DuBro, Sonic-Tronics, and others) to guarantee the best quality.
