I AM NOT SELLING A KIT,
only a new, full-size copy of a
PLAN
&
ALL
PARTS
PATTERNS
from
Jasco's THERMIC 70
tow-line glider kit to build an RC version.
Frank Zaic's famous Jasco
THERMIC 70
was one of the most popular tow-line glider kits of the 1940s. Announcement of record smashing flights was a really big deal back then. This model has a 70" span. The
PLAN
also tells how to make it into a 72" span version.
ALL parts patterns are on this 1946
PLAN
. But, to further enhance your build, I bought an old kit just to include a
separate
sheet of ALL the parts patterns (see picture). So you won't have to cut up this beautiful
plan
to build it!
As a
BONUS
I also include a wonderful vintage article titled
THERMAL HUNTERS
by Frank Zaic himself on how to get the most out of your tow-line gliders. The article appeared in a 1940s Flying Models magazine. I also include several other excellent TLG articles.
My 9th picture is how the old, old Air Trails plan appeared in a 1940s issue. They were the typical draw-up-your-own-plans-on-a-piece-of-butcher-paper from a neighborhood grocery store. I blew up the old illustrations to full-size 70" span plans and put a yardstick over them to show you how your do-it-yourself plan would look.
MY LAST 3 PICTURES ARE OF THE THERMIC 70
PLANS
BLOWN UP TO A 104" SPAN. I OFFER THIS SUPER-DUPER-SIZED THERMIC 104 SAILPLANE IN A SEPARATE LISTING.
YOU ARE PURCHASING A NICE, CLEAN, WHITE, FULL-SIZE COPY OF THE ORIGINAL KIT
