Stinson Model 105 Voyager
The Stinson 105 was built in 1939 by Stinson Aircraft Corporation
as their first light airplane. The 105 could carry 4 passengers
or a pilot and a large cargo load. It was a great
family or business plane. It could be flown by any pilot into/out
of any field that can be called an airport. It was used during
World War II by the United States Air Force.
Kit FF-16 Stinson 105 is a
1/20 scale, flying model built with the Box
and Former method. Pre-1942 design, eligible for Society of
Antique Modelers (SAM) contests.
This free flight rubber powered kit contains a
full-size rolled plan, building and flying instructions, printed
balsa wood, hand-picked balsa strip wood, rubber motor, propeller,
nose package, clear plastic for the windshield, wheels, landing
gear, and Easy Built Lite colored tissue.
You will need a building board, pins, hobby
knife, fine sandpaper, and glue.

"Attached
are photos of the Stinson 105 kit I just completed. Great kit!
You
asked me to report how she flies. In a word--wonderful! I
flew it indoors today using the kit prop, one 12" loop of 3/16" tan
super sport rubber, and nearly hit the ceiling of my local
gym. I didn't time the flights, but with a slightly left turned
(hinged) rudder and a bit of clay on the trailing edge of the
outboard wing, it flew from knee height majestically to near
the ceiling, then back down as the power ran down. Thanks
for a great kit!! These
are the modifications I made to the stock kit: 1.
Aluminum tube for the motor post 2.
Raised the leading edge of the wing about 3 degrees relative
to the stabilizer. 3.
Sheeted the cowl with 1/16" sheeting
all around. (If I had it to do again, I'd have used 1/32nd.)
4. Beef up the nose area with 1/32 balsa
sheet. Can't wait to start my Miles Mohawk (12")
kit next!"

"The Stinson was a fun and challenging kit. The model is a
good flyer. So far its best time is around 55 seconds but I think
I may be able to do a little better on the right day. It looks great
in the air. Thanks for your excellent service. I look foward to
building my next Easy Built model." - Mitch Bogard
