Never heard of this plane before. Thanks for posting. I love it.
Good luck with your's.[/QUOTE]
These planes were made around 1928 and I don't think there were very many produced. Like the real plane I don't think many RC models ever made it to the field either. This model I have is an Ikon N'wst kit plane. From what I hear of these kit's I would say half or less were ever completed due to poor plans and instruction, Poor wood choice and quality and the list is endless. Who ever the old timer was that originally built my plane was an old school master builder to say the least.
I personally could never build this plane if I had a new kit sitting in front of me. I'm very fortunate that another RCU member here allowed me the opportunity to own this plane so I could restore it. I got another hard to come by plane from him as well that was built by the same builder. I'll post pics of it this weekend.
