Kiwi-A

Quick Overview

The thin flat-bottom airfoil of Goldberg's Comet Interceptor was the influence accredited to Lew Mahieu Kiwi design. As an employee of K&B in 1954 when the Torpedo Green Head 15 was introduced, Lew designed the Kiwi to meet the then FAI Free Flight rules with the new engine. The FAI Kiwi was K&B's first and only venture into the competition kit market which was eventually sold to Guillow. Having experience with the 1/2A Kiwi; when we acquired an OS Max 15, and remembering our K&B Kiwi go OOS from Fort Meyers FL in 1964 with a TD .15, we were ready for another A size Kiwi. flying weight of our Kiwi is 15.1 oz. The BMJR Kiwi-A is true to the original design with the only changes to accommodate laser cutting technology for ease of assembly. The BMJR Kiwi-A is perfect for NFFS class A Nostalgia and the new Vintage FAI event
