Legendary wing aircraft designed and built in 60 days by Ryan, with whom American pilot Charles Lindbergh made the first solo nonstop crossing of the Atlantic Ocean. For completeness, we should add that the first stage crossing the Atlantic took place group Curtiss NC flying boats of the U.S. Navy (Europe flew into machine NC-4), the first nonstop flight then on 14 and 15 June 1919 made the British Alcock and Brown on the twin-Vickers Vimy bomber and the first two-way flight in July of the same year succeeded the British airship R-34 - sometimes, especially in the administration of "American comrades" it sounds like he was twenty-five postal pilot "Slim" Lindbergh ever first broke the Atlantic. Though not the very first, it was a really fantastic performance. For 33 and a half hours flew a distance of 3,610 miles between Roosevelt's airport on Long Island, New York and Le Bourget airport on the outskirts of Paris, where he arrived early in the morning of the 20th May 1927.
Free Flight Scale Model Kit remote record high wing aircraft designed for propulsion by rubber; instructions and allow the plan to build a model as well as a free-flying powered internal combustion engine 0.8 ccm, confined model with an internal combustion engine or a 0.8-1ccm as a static model with sophisticated maketovými details museum-quality scale of 1:16.
Model is a classic balsa construction in Rozsyp with předseknutými wooden parts, scale accessories from vacuum-molded plastic, plastic injection molding parts drawn by a předseknutými parts of "plastic plywood", a light and strong material to replace traditional plywood. The hull is constructed of course right minimaketářskou technology with baffles and a plurality of longitudinal, allowing faithfully reproduce the rounded shapes. Built in two steps - thanks to "slit" in the vertical plane stand directly on the countertop first half of the fuselage, and then the "dolepíte" half a second. Thus it is ensured that the hull complicated shapes stand straight and symmetrical, without needing any special preparations. Since it is a small model for advanced builders, you should already have prior experience with classical building and test-flying models powered by rubber.
Spirit of ST. Louis is also suitable for conversion to RC model with electric drive - although this construction plan of variants offer for experienced modellers would not be a big problem.
Kit includes: předseknuté balsa parts, balsa wood beams, předseknuté parts from plastic plywood, vacuum molded parts Scale (Pride, motor ...), plastic propeller shaft and head, rubber harness (5x1mm rubber), steel strings on chassis and other small parts, plastic wheels, lining paper handle a rocker for tethered model, wet decal sheet, building plan.
Tip for building: Předseknuté parts NEVYLAMUJTE! Turn the cutting board, place it on a work surface and lightly sand the fine sandpaper (No. 220 or finer). Parts can then be easily separated; should still have some wood fibers "bound" to a cutting board, carefully separate the part of the pattern, using a sharp knife (suitable as Excel No.1 knife with a blade 11).
Treatment of rubber volume: a new eraser gently wash it in soapy water and allow to dry. Then lubricate it with castor oil (sold in pharmacies) or silicone grease for the lubrication of fishing line (you get the fishing tackle shops). After flying with the volume model, remove and store it in a sealed plastic bag. Lubricated rubber volume depends more smoothly and with less friction - gives more power and last longer. The new volume is also advisable to first fetch - for the first 2-3 years only to turn the 80-100 revolutions before it can safely shoot more.
