The plane was however, only a flying model constructed by Jack Doerr, Mitchell, formerly of Exeter, who had it out for a trial flight, The model is 37 inches in length from prop to rudder and has a wing spread of 67 inches. The total weight, including its tiny gasoline motor is two pounds, fourteen ounces It is finished in white, with red trim and presents a most realistic appear­ ance with its glazed ■cabin windows, varnished propeller and large soft rubber tires. Jack has been work­ ing on the model since 'Christmas and has constructed the frame j>f balsa wood and covered it with bam­ boo paper. The paper was then sur­ faced with airplane dope, The motor is a Brown Junior min­ iature, developing a fifth horse-power sufficient to allow the plane to take off the ground unassisted and pull it into climb of an average rate of 800 feet per minute. The motor will, turn over at anywhere from 1200 to’ 10,000 revolutions per minute, The tiny engine stands 4% inches high, has a 7-8-inch bore and weighs only 61 ounces. On the top of the air­ cooled cylinder is a tiny spark plug and ignition is supplied from flash­ light batteries, The workmanship on the model is finely executed and Jack was highly pleased with the ship’s initial performance, although, as he antic­ ipated he will have to make a few adjustments before it is in perfect working order.
