I've been working on this since Feb 2021 and decided to post some stuff because it might give someone else some ideas. A couple of years ago my wife gave me a hallmark Christmas ornament of this plane and it inspired me to look at building. I have plenty of high wing planes and wanted a low wing plane to build. I decided to use a set of plans from Cleveland Models as I have built an Aeronca C3 from their plans that flies great.
It's now Jan 2022 and I am at the painting stages so I should get caught up fast, here goes

In 1929 this was the first civilian plane to fly faster than the military planes at the Cleveland air races
