Silver Arrow Hobby has been looking a long time for a plane that would give the feel of the real Jenny and the new mid-size 50 inch wing span Jenny does just that.
You will be astonished at how complete the airplane is with even the rigging being completed for you at the factory. “We have sold a lot of them to corporate customers who display them in their office like art work, the plane is that nice.”
the Jenny, it is all about the rigging! I have to say that up front, as in my opinion, the rigging is what really transforms the 50" Jenny from an ordinary ARF into a beautiful scale World War One era biplane.
The first time I saw this model, I thought it looked really great but I figured all of that rigging assuredly meant a lot of extra time on the bench. Lo and behold, it turns out that the model comes out of the box with about 90% of the rigging already completed for the builder.
Another interesting note is that We condones the use of a nitro power system on this model, including both electric and nitro motor mounts in the kit.
About The 50 inch Curtis Jenny It's hard to look at a Curtis Jenny without having a big smile on your face. Bob Hare, an actual Jenny pilot and author once said, "There is no pilot who has put time on a Jenny who will not admit, verily, now there was an airplane! To those who learned on a Jenny, there is something magical in recalling the feel of air pressure on her elevators or rudder;
of the throbbing of her OX-5 engine pulling her out of a dirt field; of every rib, strut and wire vibrating in unison; of the fabric dancing to the same beat as she bored her way through the air."
