This is the original 1939 Model Craft Hornet designed by Ray Smith. It has a 48" wingspan and is designed as a Class A or B gas powered aircraft using a .049 to .15 engine. It has a wing area of 306 square inches. Our reissue contains an added insert for the port wing. The prototype engine was the very light Atwood Phantom.
