For you small-scale builders, here's an first-hand update. I ordered the Corben Super Ace 23" W.S. kit and the complete plans catalog from Golden Age Reproductions, and they just arrived.
The kit came first, very well-packaged in a sturdy double carton. It's a beauty, printed (not cut) sheets and strip stock, all fine grade balsa. Full size plans, genuine Esaki tissue (the old Free Flighters will recognize this name!), plastic prop and rubber motor, nose bearing and hook.
I hope to modify this to micro-R/C with a 25 watt ELE C10 2900Kv outrunner from BPHobbies.
But the catalog!! This will nearly bring tears to the eyes of any fan of the 1920's, 30's and pre-war aircraft. Military, Civilian, Racers, Prototypes and unusual types. 80- 8" x 10" pages with (usually) two scaled-down reproductions per page. A price guide for the full-size plans is included, most are $3.75 to $4.75 each. you could learn how to design a stick model just by reading this catalog!
Jim included a nice note with the list and price update. The plans catalog is $19.00 including shipping, U.S.A., Canada and Mexico. Well worth it, as a reference and a piece of aviation history. Don't know where I got the $3.00 price on the earlier post, the paper is worth more than that.
Check out Golden Age Reproductions, great products!
