PD-09 Russell Chambers 1938 R-1 Chambermaid(Laser Cut)
Kit PD-09 Russell Chambers 1938 R-1 Chambermaid is a laser cut balsa
wood kit for the serious flying competitor. This kit is a modified
Bill Henn competition design Greve Racer.
With retractable landing gear, a wingspan of 13'10" and a fuselage
length of 17'4" the Chambermaid was one of the smallest racers ever
built. Russell Chambers built this "tiny screamer" in his garage.
When Art Chester saw the plane he commented, "Ya forgot the wings,
Russ." Sadly on September 12, 1938 at the National Air Races
in Cleveland, Chambers died when he crashed his plane into a vegetable
patch.
This kit includes a full-size rolled CAD drawn plan, building
and flying instructions, premium laser cut balsa parts, hand-picked
competition weight balsa strip wood, vacuum-molded canopy, exhaust
cylinders, spinner and wheels in up position, FAI rubber, propeller,
thrust button, LaserCal™
markings (markings precut for you using our laser), and Easy
Built Lite tissue
in white.
You will need a hobby knife, fine
sandpaper, building board, pins, and glue.

"This is Chambermaid #2. The first one has logged over 130 flights,
most of which were successful. I would estimate that 45% of it has
been rebuilt, patched,and recovered. It now weighs 14 grams more.
It still flies as good as ever despite 4 death spirals, 3 accidental
wound rubber releases, 6 tree recoveries and one full power tree
strike that severed a wing." - Bob Bard
