(10/6/2003) -> Japanese pageI received mail that the modeler in Canada helps my translation.The translated page(Step 2- making of duct) was update. Thanks Nayumi and Lorne Craig.(9/20/2003)
I began to translate into English the page written in Japanese. I cannot write English well.Therefore, the help of a translation tool has been obtained. If you may not understand, please give me e-mail.I am going to perform translation little by little per week.Translating all will take time.(11/21/2001)
I manufactured Skyray from the RBC
kit.This Skyray is an electric duct fan.Although I thought that this Skyray
wanted to attach a retractabel gear, it was judged that it was impossible.It
is because it space cannot be found.
I manufactured as the kit was specified.I manufactured Microbe(Japanese
Only)put on the market from the RBC
kit.
