silver with scale markings). The lack of landing gear and huge wing area practically ensure that you’ll place well. The 1920 Dayton Wright Racer
has a special place in aviation history. After World War I, France was eager to win the Gordon Bennett Cup Race one more time, which would earn them permanent possession of the trophy. Taking the challenge, the Americans developed and sent four new planes to France: the Curtiss Cactus Kitten and the Texas Wildcat (neither of which actually raced due to their high landing speeds and the short airdrome at the Morane- Saulnier field), a Verville Scout biplane, and the little Dayton-Wright. This 23-foot, 3-inch span, 1,400-pound monoplane boasted several big innovations: hinged wing leading and trailing edges (which made the camber adjustable for a lower landing speed), full-cantilever wings (built of solid balsa with chunks cut out and covered with plywood), and retractable landing gear. Unfortunately, it withdrew after the first lap due to a broken rudder cable. This kit contains: 59 precision laser-cut parts, mostly of 1⁄16-inch balsa, with

locating notches and gussets at each joint; white Esaki tissue; full-size plans; full-size scale markings which can be traced onto the tissue; silver plastic prop; bearing; FAI Super Sport rubber. The 1920 Dayton Wright Racer has a wing span of 16 inches, area of 64 square
inches, weighs approximately 16 grams, with a wing loading of 1.3 ounces/square foot. It is priced at $17.99, or $20.99 with silver Esaki tissue, plus S&H.
