Komet
THIS PARTICULAR model was built primarily as an unusual 1/2-A trainer type plane, but I added a horizontal stabilizer so that it would more closely conform to the usual in flight. The Cox "Black Widow" engine was to be its power source. It will be necessary to rotate the tank to match the drawings. I highly recommend this engine for power and consistency in flight. The model was built without landing gear for ease of construction. Besides, small models seldom make neat landings on grass fields. The construction drawing shows the model with wire skids and also with landing gear. Landing gear are specified for mouse racers, although only one wheel is required for qualification. The plane is an extremely fast and stable flier, but please do use a properly broken-in engine.
