This year's rules require an 8g airframe, and the airplane is required to fit into a specified size of box, assembled and ready to fly.
The airframe is mostly wood, but does include a few special parts, Carbon Fiber wing posts, a Delrin "quick change" mount for the special Indoor Free Flight Supplies prop hanger that is installed on each prop.  The covering material is 6 micron plastic film, for durability and lightness.
A well built and trimmed model should be capable of flights of >2 mins flights.  Our prototype did 2 mins X sec first day trimming at an indoor site.  But this will depend on the students ability to build and trim the model.
Kit contains rolled full size plans, wood parts in the kit are precision laser cut to build TWO 8g - 9g airplanes.  Two 9 1/2" light weight props, 10 O-Rings, a little over 9g  of 3/32" FAI rubber strip (enough to make 5-6 motors).  Also included is a pair of Delron key hole mounts to make it easy to change prop/hanger assemblies in a matter of seconds with no tools.   This will allow the student to experiament with prop size, rubber width and loop length, to pick the best match to the airplane.
You will need wood glue, Thin and Medium CA, perminant glue stick, 3M77 Spray adhesive, rubber lube, masking tape (1/4" wide preferred), non-stick paper to finish building the model, and a 10:1 or 15:1 winder, as it will take 1200 - 1500 turns to fully wind the motor.
All wood has been carefully selected to yield a relatively robust airplane that weighs close to 8g.  The wing and stabilizer spars have built in gussets at each joint. 
TRY SOME EXPERIAMENTS TO IMPROVE THE PERFORMANCE AFTER YOU HAVE SUCESS WITH THE BASID MODEL.

Great age appropriate kit

Very well designed and kitted plane. What I really like about this is that it is designed for a middle to high school child to actually build successfully. It flies well off of the build table without requiring an "expert" to trim it. It also fits within the required box without having to do any funny business to squeeze it in. Instructions are extremely well written and the support on this product is top notch. So much of the Flight event seems like you need an expert free flight coach. This kit really demystifies it.
