Description
I AM NOT SELLING A KIT,
only new, full-size copies of vintage
PLANS
to build BOTH a Jim Walker UC
FIREBALL
& Cal Smith's updated
FIREBALL BIPE
.
The publication "
Cal Smith on Model Building"
had the only
PLANS
to a Jim Walker
FIREBALL
biplane I have found. The
FIREBALL BIPE
is seen on the cover of Cal's manual.
I enlarged the plans to match up with the full-size patterns that were printed in the construction article. The top wing has a 35" span. Cal shows a .19 engine on his
PLANS
.
The whole idea was to add an extra wing to your
FIREBALL
kit. A knowledgeable modeler will be able to build the
FIREBALL BIPLANE
from these plans as Cal originally intended.
I INCLUDE BOTH MONOPLANE & BIPLANE PLANS IN THIS OFFER + COPIES OF THE CONSTRUCTION ARTICLES.
Remember that the fuselage was pre-carved. So, finding an early kit plan would not show any more of the fuselage than this plan. One of my pictures shows an old kit that sold on eBay so that you can have a visual for this.
I include a copy of a full-size copy of a
FIREBALL
kit
PLAN
that was published in the long defunct American Aircraft Modeler magazine.
AS A
BONUS
I INCLUDE A FULLSIZE
COPY
OF MY RARE ORIGINAL JIM WALKER
