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.
