In the 41 years since its first flight, the Headwind "B" has gone from a homebuilt kit to an internationally known example of simplicity and style.
Great Planes has captured both in a slow-flying park flyer that allows pilots to fly almost anywhere and take advantage of every possible flying opportunity.
![]() Start after breakfast, and you can be at the field by early afternoon. The balsa fuselage and wing halves are covered, and pushrod guides are already installed. All that's left is some easy bench time.
| ![]() A removable hatch allows easy access to the battery without having to remove the wing. The battery mounts onto a tray with Velcro® fasteners.

![]() "With the Headwind 'B,' you can enjoy the unique looks of the '60s homebuilt with the easy of ARF assembly, the clean silent power of electric flight and the fly-anywhere freedom of a park flyer." Don Anderson President and Founder Great Planes Model Manufacturing

Note: Some models require a 3-channel radio system, but a 4-channel will also work and it's beneficial because the modeler can use it in a wider range of applications with larger aircraft in the future. It depends on whether the modeler plans on using their radio for different uses other than just this airplane. Also please note that some radios come with receiver, crystal and/or servos.
