Cleveland Stinson Reliant - 82.5 inch Wingspan RC Model Airplane, GP-66B

Wood Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc

Sold

Very rare huge model in 1/6 scale. Unlike most flying airplane models, this kit is an exact duplicate of the real airplane - right down to the wing rib spacing, the rib structure, and stringer spacing. Beautifully done as only Cleveland could do. Can be flown with class A / B / C motors. Includes full size plans and many prefabricated parts. This model came from the estate of a very active and particular early aircraft kit collector. It is like factory-new inside and has not been started. Complete with all parts, plans and decals (if originally included). The Cleveland Model and Supply Company played a pivotal role in the development of true scale models. In 1909 Bleriot�s English Channel flight caused a surge in aviation and model aircraft around the globe. Several companies were ideally positioned to take advantage of the aviation craze. In the USA, Wading River Manufacturing Co. (1909), White Aeroplane (1911), Ideal Model Aeroplane (1911), Broadfield Model Aeroplanes (1919) were among these pioneers, offering everything from plans and parts to complete kits and ARF models. Lindbergh�s 1927 crossing of the Atlantic Ocean caused an even bigger world-wide phenomenon called �The Aviation Craze� that extended up to the start of World War II. Many companies such as Megow, Guillow's and others started right around the time of Lindbergh�s flight. Some of these models flew and flew well, but they all had one thing in common - were generally not accurate scale representations. In 1929, a youngster named Ed Packard had a very advanced dream � to produce incredibly accurate, true scale models that flew perfectly. This radical idea established the world�s longest running single-owner (77 years) model airplane supply business � Cleveland Model and Supply Company. To this day, Cleveland models are treasured as the most accurate flying scale models produced. The fact that Mr. Packard started and successfully grew this business during The Great Depression is a testament to his ideals and business skill. I highly suggest the excellent book called �Aviation�s great Recruiter � Cleveland�s Ed Packard� by H.L. (Herm) Schreiner. It is an excellent history of the man, his company and the times of the Golden Age of Model Aviation.
