Latest Model - Curtiss JN-4

i have just finished my newest model. It is a Curtis Jenny (JN-4) and my first biplane. It is a true slow flyer and sports functioning flying wires. All I need is a nice still day to get it in the air and see how well it flys. I have been following the discusions on RC universe http://www.rcuniverse.com/
and I really like what I see there as it seems to really fly true to scale which is something I look for in models. I know a lot of RC pilots are into 3D and things that you do not actually see in full scale aircraft. Everyone has their own preferences in this sport but I lean hard to true scale looks and performance.

The Jenny was a favorite trainer for WWI pilots and at the end of the war many pilots who were trained by the U.S. Army were able to purchase these aircraft very cheaply. They were used a lot in barnstorming and airshows to promote aviation to a public that had never actually seen a flying machine. They were also used a lot in the early airmail and transportation market. You can still find a few of these classic airframes still in flying condition across the country.

It thrills me every time a see one of the old biplanes in the air. I don't think I have ever seen a Jenny fly but a number of others such as the Steermans and Wacos are seen from time to time in the air.
