    documentation
    to build a 43" span Lindbergh NYP
    SPIRIT OF ST LOUIS
    for the 93
    rd
    Anniversary of his world-changing solo flight across the Atlantic from NY to Paris.
    This nice
    SPIRIT OF ST LOUIS
    PLAN
    by Henry Struck was intended for free flight or UC scale using an O.K. Cub .049. I enlarged the original
    PLAN
    to a 43" span size that allows the use of any .10 gas or electric equivalent power. You can see on the
    PLAN
    that the original fuselage construction was stick & tissue covering. However, the 3 other sets of
    PLANS
    I have each call for sheet sides, top and bottom. So this model can so quickly be made by going with full sheet sides box construction.
    I include copies of TWO
    construction
    articles
    for this same model that appeared in both Air Trails and KAPA Kollector magazines. I include
    very nice 3-view scale documentation
    to help you add any scale details you might want.
    AS A
    BONUS
    I ALSO INCLUDE A LARGE ENHANCED CUTAWAY SUPPLEMENT
    OF
    THE SPIRIT OF ST LOUIS
    SUITABLE FOR FRAMING.
    Bob Dively used to offer a 9-cylinder, 4" diameter plastic radial engine that I bought to use on my model. If that is not still available, some of the fine RC scale radial engine kits that we see advertised might sell their plastic radial engines separately. The Williams Bros. vintage 2-1/2" wheels, while about an 1/8th of an inch wider than shown on the
    PLAN
    , will add a real touch of scale realism.
    I also have Walter Musciano's NYP model plan that has a symmetrical airfoil and is listed as an Old Time Stunt model.
    I can list that one separately if you would like a copy.
