KC Clipper

Below: The original Kansas City Clipper and ground crew, circa 1937. Right: More than 50 years after the final flight of the original model, Bill Murray (Temple, TX) built the new Clipper. ASP .61 power. The saga of the Kansas City Clipper began in the early days of modeling. Many of us in the Kansas City area were successfully designing and flying rubber-powered models in the late 1920s and early 1930s. It was very difficult to afford one of the new gas model engines in the Depression years, but I managed to get one of the first Ohlssons.
