Impressive scale kit for RC, free flight or control line. She was designed by the famous naval architects Sparkman and Stephens who created the Columbia (winner of the New England yacht races). This ship was commissioned by Caltex Pacific Oil Company in 1961 to speed personnel and freight from Sumatra to Singapore.

I had the front made on one sheet and the back on another sheet, which makes building the kit much easier.

NOTE: the plans & instructions are professional quality reproductions made on a large scanner specifically made for large plans. Inventoried and NOTE: missing one piece of wood, a 25 inch x. This very large scale model is 'completely pre-fabricated for easy construction' It features die-cut plywood and balsa parts, factory carved parts, plastic molded smoke stack, other plastic parts as well, sheeted hull construction, 'excellent' condition decals, superb full size drawings and plans and simple-to-follow, step by step instructions.

A friend has a FP MT on his Stearman and the performance increase over the wood Sensenich it replaced is marked.Rare and includes the even rarer with the optional cast metal fitting set. yet I have not seen any of these props in use. The TC'd version for the small Continentals will work for any number of older Cubs, Champs, Luscombes, Taylorcrafts, etc. I've been curious about the MT fixed pitch props for some time. My 1948 C170 with C-145 is an example of that. If that is the case on your plane, you can bolt on any certified wooden prop that fits that limitation with nothing more than a log book entry and 337 and W&B entry. Some aircraft TCDS's written under CAR 3 provide a very open wording about props, usually only defining max static rpm and diameter. It is not STC'd, but it is a FAA certified 'wooden propeller'. There is an MT FP prop designed for this application.
