    for the
    BOX CAR CHIEF
    old time UC stunt.
    The 1947
    BOX CAR CHIEF
    from
    Ricks Model Company
    had a thick airfoil and its shoulder wing was held in place with rubber bands---not a wise idea today. But back then engines were using ignition timing and turned about 7-8,000 rpms. So they didn't put the strain on a plane that later higher rpm engines do. So the answer was to strengthen the original great stunt design for modern needs. The ad I show for the BOX-CAR CHIEF ran in a 1948 Air Trails magazine.
    Here is an updated
    PLAN
    for an Old Time Stunt plane that allows you to use a nice Fox .35. The wing span is 42" and the chord is 9-1/2" for 400 squares. The fuselage is a sheet-sided box with sheeting on the top and bottom. The wing is straight and needs only one rib pattern. It couldn't be any easier to build than this.
    This is one REALLY LARGE
