Art Chester Jeep Tomasco – 20 in wingspan

NOTE: There is some photographic distortion in the preview at left – the plan is perfect!

This is an intermediate skill-level stick & tissue rubber powered free flight scale  model.  This model is an excellent flyer.  Chet Bukowski, a top flyer in the early days of the Flying Aces Club (FAC), built one of these and dominated the first FAC Greve Race Mass Launch events.  I cannot recall whether Chet modified the wing rib section, but I’m certain that he installed a motor peg and balsa support at the fuselage upright at former F-4.  He also likely enlarged the horizontal stabilizer and built it one-piece to mount ontop of the upper fuselage longeron.  With a carved balsa propeller, his “Jeep” model was a slow and stable flyer.  Give this one a try and stand out at the FAC Greve Race flightline!

Qualifies to fly in FAC Greve Race, FAC Scale, Simplified Scale events.
