Aeronca 1939 Chief (LASER CUT)
Kit FF-21LC Aeronca 1939 Chief is a 1/22 scale, flying model that
uses the Box and Former method of simplified
construction. Pre-1942 design, eligible for Society of Antique Modelers
(SAM) contests.
Built by the Aeronautical Corporation of America (AERONCA), the Chief
was the first commercially successful light airplane. So basic was
its design, that the pilot sat on a bare plywood board; it was known
as "the flying bathtub." The 1939 Chief was a far more comfortable
evolution with increased range. It was also used by the American Air
Force for observation.
This free flight rubber powered kit contains a full-size
rolled plan, building and flying instructions, hand-picked competition weight
laser cut balsa parts and balsa strip wood, FAI rubber motor, E-B propeller,
EBM thrust button, clear plastic and windshield template, wheels,
wire, TissueCal™ and LaserCal™ registration markings, and Easy
Built Lite tissue in red and white. You will need a building
board, pins, hobby knife, fine
sandpaper, and glue.

"Your contribution, of the Aeronca Chief plans and lazer cut sheetwood, to the 2010 Muncie FAC contest was well received. The attachment is my version. It weighs 20 grams, as you see it, without rubber and is slightly nose heavy. Gliding/trimming will have to wait until the temperature gets above 25 degrees and the snow melts. With a little luck it'll be an entrant in the "one design" event at Muncie this year. Your lazer cut balsa parts were accurate and certainly made the construction faster. Hope to see you there with your Chief. Again, many thanks for your generosity. Keep whittling," Claude Powell
