We don’t include these accessories in our kits for two reasons: The first and most simple reason is that it keeps the cost of the kit down. The second reason is that if we were to put hinges, clevises, control rods, engine mounts and wheels in the kits, they may not be your preferred way of doing things such as mylar hinge strip vs pin hinges; or you could have loads of accessories in your shed/workshop collected over your years in the hobby and already have these items in your own stocks. Essentially, we want your hobby time with our kits to be at a high level of success and enjoyment using the best possible accessories ensuring that your Skyway Models kits stay airworthy for as long as possible. We sell all of the accessories you need to get your kit in the air, so you can order these at the same time, if you require them.
