In 1971, or so, I built a Debolt "Jenny" trainer. As I recall, it was a pretty large plane. I built a Heathkit 4 channel system for it and I think I installed a Merco 61 ( 2 plug) engine. The whole rig worked fine, but it met its demise because I had no instruction and didn't know s**t from shinola about flying. I was just wondering if anyone out there still has a "Jenny", or are they available in kit form, etc. Thanks Glen

I saw a kit yesterday at the WRAMS show at the VR/CS table. Search this board for plans, they're available.

Mike, do you know the owner of the kit? I've got one that is complete except for missing the landing gear, which the plans don't show the size and shape.

I think I have a good nose gear. Don't remember the main gear--may have it though--will check. The nose gear was special-neat.

If you build another Jenny, remember that it had one strange characteristic. If you put it in a spin it would go then into a flat spin and
would not come out...all the way to the ground... I had one that did it and so did a couple of my buddies...

Thanks Frank,

Good to know about the Jenny's spin characteristic, as I have a fiberglass Seamaster (not vintage) with the same characteristic. I no longer spin it intentionally.
