DC Antiques King Burd - 59 Inch Wingspan 1936 Free Flight Or R/C Aircraft from Burd Model Airplane Company
Wood and Metal Model Kit, Box Condition: VG
NOS (New Old Stock) from a long-closed hobby shop; you would be the first owner of this kit. Lanny Sheedls and Gene Crim teamed up to form D.C Antiques, where they reproduced some of the all-time greats from the Golden Age Of Model Aviation. Burd Model Airplane Company - whose motto was "A Burd Always Flies!!!" made the famous, top-of-the-line King Burd gas model in 1936. Originally powered by a now rare Baby Cylone ignition engine, Danny and Gene used a tremendous assortment of power plants from .09s to 19s and received considerable enthusiasm whenever and wherever it flew. They flew it both free-flight and R/C. It builds up quickly and has the flight characteristics of a much larger plane and flies like a dream. R/C modifications are drawn in on the plans. Features factory cut wing ribs, all stringer and spar stock, balsa blocks as required, Du-Bro nylon control horns, nylon hinges, improved (over the original) fully formed metal landing gear struts, white, black and dark red covering material, full size rolled plans and text instructions including CG information. Never started. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts and paperwork present.
