Slingsby T-53B 111" GliderWhen the Slingsby factory in Great Britain decided to move away from wooden construction, the aluminium T 53 was developed. It features two fixed tandem wheels and a very obvious swept forward wing. The Slingsby T 53B was a minor modification of the Slingsby T 53 two seat tandem trainer, and was used by the RAF for Air Cadet training. Our Laser Cut Kit is based on the 1970 design by Bob Andris. The kit includes a clear vacuum formed canopy. UK

Short Kit Or Complete Airframe Kit?

A Short Kit includes a full size printed plan and all of the laser cut parts that are required as part of the complete airframe build.

Items such as wing ribs, dihedral joiners, fuselage formers & fuselage parts, doublers, bulkheads and so on.

Every part which is a complex cut is precisely laser cut as per the plan and included in the short kit. Some kits may also include vacuum formed ABS parts like canopies or cowlings.

With a Short Kit, the only items you need to add to the laser cut parts to build a complete airframe are components which are simply cut to length. Parts such as wing spars, wing sheeting or fuselage sheeting for example.




A Complete Airframe Kit includes the Laser Cut Short Kit, plus the entire list of additional materials required to complete the airframe build.

Select this option when adding to your cart to purchase all of the materials required to complete the airframe build.

Every kit includes a full size printed plan, and where available the designers original construction notes. The kits do not include miscellaneous hardware such as pushrods, control horns, hinges, wheels etc.

Edger Does Not Fit The 52CC Trimmer
Style: 9" 2T Cutting Blade
Might be a great cutter head?? I purchased the 52cc trimmer and edger as a package, however the edger does not fit the trimmer??? Therefore, it is useless... Will see if it fits my 25cc trimmer and maybe change the review... They should tell people in the description that their edger will not work with the 52cc trimmer....

Cut edges like a pro
Style: 9" 2T Cutting Blade
Better, much better than the OEM yellow and black brand. This has an all metal guard and the blade does not bind when it comes into contact with concrete. I have used it all summer for edging two commercial properties and my own lawn, it’s still turning and cutting with ease. Being all metal adds weight but the trade off over fragile plastic is worth the durability.

OK for light duty use only
Style: 9" 2T Cutting Blade
Not very strong or robust. Does fit my power head properly. Only recommend it for occasional, light duty use.

These work for the Worx trimmer WG928
Size: 16 Line Spools+4 Caps, Size: 16 Line Spools+4 Caps
Recently purchased the Work String trimmer and blower bundle. I found these and ordered them in hopes they were the right ones. They fit and work perfectly. Super easy to install. Pop out the old one and pop in the new. The string is pretty durable and thick. I love the idea of pre loaded spools. It got so annoying having to rewind the string on the spool every time I ran out. Price is fair and worth it. Highly recommend these if you have the same trimmer.
