Description

The Blackbird kit is based around a standard coin cell and two 3mm LEDs. Different than most basic solder kits, is that required assembly of the PCB to make the model airplane come to life. It has been designed for use in Flemish schools therefor all the technical specifications about the plane are written in Dutch. Once assembled the SR-71 measure about 6 cm long.

Contact us for customized versions. Starting from 25 pieces we can change the PCB color or translate the text to the language of your preference.

Kit contents

2x3mm candle flicker LED
SMD CR2032 battery holder
SMD switch
PCB

Assembly instructions

carefully depanelize the PCB by bending it
optionally file or sand the rough edges
pay attention to the orientation of the battery holder and the LED
slide the 2 wings past the LED pads
carefully bend the LED leads and solder them in place before assembling the plane
slide the 2 wings back and solder them in place
pay attention to the polarity marks on the plane body and the baseplate
solder the mechanical joints on one side first will allow you to make easy corrections when it's not perfectly perpendicular

Great adition to the desk of any airplane enthousiast!

Nice little kit to build! Documentation/instructions are clear enough to leave just a little puzzle (in a good way). The design is elegant and the leds give a nice effect. Did not find out how long it lasts on battery!

Cool stuff

I wrote review for the sr-71 but review is likely applicable to the rest of the planes from this seller. The LEDs imo are better to solder as smd LEDs but maybe that's my error in assembly sequence. The boards contain enough documentation on them to assemble it rather quickly. Shipping was quick. Not a lot communication, so that's a good thing in my book :).

Nice little kit!

Very nice little kit. Also, great idea to use the PCB this way. Was very easy and fun to build! :) Looking forward to more ideas like that.

Really cool panelized PCB

Really cool little plane! The shipment, although it wasn't tracked, was really really fast. One downside I would like to point out would be the envelope, I think this should have been better packed (maybe in a bubble envelope) because of the fragility of the PCB, however, everything came intact and it is nicely sealed in an antistatic bag which is really nice. It also comes with a small page of well-detailed assembly instructions. I haven't built it yet but it looks very fun to do. I think that once finished they will both sit at my desk!

Thank you!
