 Baby Biplane

The plans for this were featured in Flying Models magazine a few years ago. It was originally designed for the K&B Infant engine.  Mine is powered by a Cox Tee Dee .010.  It is overpowered with the .010.  A lot of fun.

 The Starduster 900, designed by Sal Taibi.  Covered in red silk.  Fox 35 power.  I flew this at Waywanda, NY.  I had to stop testing when I cut my finger on the propeller while removing the glow starter.  I will be flying it again as soon as my finger heals.

The Major







This is The Major, from the Scientific Model Airplane Company.  I purchased this WWII era kit at Hobbyland in Hackensack, NJ in the 1960's, when I was 12 years old.  I never finished building it then, but kept the plans.  I finally built it in 2020.  Wingspan is 25 inches.

I have flown this indoors at the Teaneck Armory.  Hit the rafters one time.  A great flyer.  Power is 2 loops of 1/8 rubber.  The next indoor flights will use one loop of 1/8.

I flew outdoors at Barron Field in Wayanda, NY.  It flew very well.
