Hand-Made U-Control (Control Line) Aircraft - Never Flown
Wood and Metal Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc+
Sold
This dated from the early to mid 1960s and was in a collection of incredibly well build stick & tissue and solid models. This is not store bought but is a home-made flying model. It has a 24 inch wingspan and is 18 inches long. The model is very, very durable. I do not know what it is made of, but it's so tough that you can't poke a hole in it with your finger. It is not plastic - I tend to think it has a balsa fuselage and balsa or sheeted wings. The wing and stabilizer have a beautiful airfoil, and the fuselage is perfectly symmetrical. The gas tank is built into the fuselage and has brass fill and vent tubes. The engine mount is carved out of solid wood and even includes three of four mounting screws and washers. The elevator controls are metal and work perfectly. The landing gear is strong spring steel and the wheels spin freely. They are held in place on the front and back by soldered brass washers. The paint job was done by hand and is fantastic. If you install and engine, she is ready to fly or display.

Cleveland Mile Fliers The Flying Dutchman Amphibian - Skystick Style Balsa Flying Model Airplane Kit, C-5
Wood Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc
Sold
Early World War II kit. The model has not been started. The parts are either in factory sealed bag(s) or inventoried 100% complete with all parts and instructions. 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 operating single-owner 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.
