HISTORY: Different models of the "Great Lakes" were built in the late 1920’s. The early production airplanes were equipped with a number of different engines, all less than 100 horsepower. "Great Lakes" airplanes were used to a limited extent in the "Civilian Pilot training program." This was a course instituted by the military to expose cadets to flying while waiting to be called to enter an "Air Force" or a "naval" cadet flight school.
Originally powered with a Cirrus 90 horsepower engine, the Great Lakes biplanes were manufactured in Cleveland, Ohio, from 1928 through the early 1930s. The agile little biplanes held many records for aerobatic maneuvers and were the leading choice for aerobatic pilots for many years.

HISTORY: The P-39 was one of America's first-line pursuit planes in December 1941. It made its initial flight in April 1939 at Wright Field and by the time of the Pearl Harbor attack, nearly 600 had been built. Its unique engine location behind the cockpit caused some pilot concern, but this proved to be no more of a hazard in a crash landing than with an engine located forward of the cockpit. However, the P-39's spin characteristics could be quite a problem if recovery techniques were ignored.
The Airacobra saw combat throughout the world, particularly in the Southwest Pacific, Mediterranean and Russian theaters. Because its engine was not equipped with a supercharger, the P-39 performed best below 17,000 feet altitude, and it often was used at lower altitudes for such missions as ground strafing. When P-39 production ended in August 1944, Bell had built 9,584 Airacobras, of which 4,773 had been allotted to the Soviet Union. Russian pilots particularly liked the cannon-armed P-39 for its ground attack capability. Other P-39s served French and British forces.

BEEP BEEP my arse!
Hey Willie; I bought this plan from you a couple months ago and I am Happy. If you get a chance look at former #2 on the fuse. It is too short on top. If you do decide to change it maybe move it back almost to the leading edge. That way a 4 0z wedge tank will fit. Not bitching but you said you like to play with em. Again I am happy with what I got and the girls are great. rog

HISTORY: This WW II fighter was developed from the P-39 Airacobra which it closely resembles. The Army Air Forces never used the P-63 in combat, although some were used for fighter training. Many P-63s were exported as Lend-Lease aircraft; the Soviet Union recieved 2,456 and Free French forces obtained 300. P-63 performance was adequate for low-level fighting and P-63s were widely used by the Soviets for such missions as "tank busting." Bell produced 3,305 P-63s, 13 of which were -Es.
The most unusual P-63 variations were the RP-63A and RP-63C "pinball" versions developed late in WW II. These manned target aircraft were fired at by aerial gunnery students using .30 caliber lead and plastic frangible machine gun bullets which disintegrated harmlessly against the target's external skin of Duralumin armor plating. Special instruments sent impulses to red lights in the nose of the "pinball" aircraft, causing them to blink when bullets struck the plane.

Looking for something different for the circle? This is a super cool old Hobby Helper's plan for a control line crop dusting airplane. Oh boy, just think if you rigged a way to spread flower while 'dusting'? That would be so cool.
Being an old farm boy myself, I have many great memories of these flying work horses gracefully waltzing over my fields.
32" wing span. 21" length. Fox 35 shown. Construction notes are printed on the plans.
A copy of the Magazine article is included and is printed on the plans which are 86" in length. A BOM is included on the plans.
