Modelcraft Hornet
This is the original 1939 Model Craft Hornet designed by Ray Smith.
It has a 48" wingspan and is designed as a Class A or B gas powered
aircraft, using a .049 to .15 engine. It has a wing area of 306 square
inches. Uses the Box and Former method
of construction. Our reissue contains an added insert for the port
wing. The prototype engine was the very light Atwood Phantom. It weighed
3.5 oz. and produced 1/7 hp. at 6500 rpm. The Hornet is a first-class
sport model and a potent contest airplane. Pre-1942 design, eligible
for Society of Antique Modelers (SAM) contests.
This free flight gas powered model kit contains full-size rolled
plans, instructions, printed wood, hand-picked balsa sheet wood and
stripwood, hardwood, wire, tissue covering, and clear sheet plastic.
You will need a engine, fuel tank, fuel, propeller, wheels, building
board, cutting tools, sandpaper, glue, pins, and paint.

Customer photos:
"Thought you might enjoy a picture of one of your Hornet kits that
has been flying free flight for 12 years. It's powered by an Elfin
2.49cc diesel and has enjoyed contest success here in Texas, Pensacola
and the Nationals. It must have a 100 flights on it. Been a great
little flier. Covered with silk and Jap tissue trim." - Mark
