Chris Oreilly Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 hi everyone, after many years i have decided to build a flying model with my eight year old grandson . i picked the Griffen because it said it was an afternoon build and it would give me something nice and easy to start with (big mistake) i am a week in and still trying to finish the wings for a pro im sure its easy but for me there are virtually no directions i didnt realize till to late that it came from china. i wonder if anyone has any experience with this model or can direct me to somewhere on the internet that can give me some advice. thanks Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john davidson 1 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Need more details, who makes the kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J D 8 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Don't know what a "Griffen" model plane is. The only thing I can find is a " Griffin " which is an all balsa motor glider and in no way could be built in an afternoon even by an experienced builder. More detail needed.

Chris Oreilly Posted November 1, 2020 Author Share Posted November 1, 2020 dw hobby is the one and have got that build info i just wondered if ther was anything else out there or i will just have to muddle through. I'm glad that it isn't an afternoon build thought i was loosing the plot. have bought a little cessna 100 vintage model kit for the grandson and will gradually work my way through the griffin .nearly 80 now so have got lots of time on my hands with lock down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickw Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 I am not familiar with that model so can't help directly, but have a look at this website "build" as i think it might be your model. if that doesn't help, you can always come back here and we will do our best.
