You are looking at a 1947 WEATHERMAN CONTROL LINE SPEED PLANE in RESTORED CONDITION. The plane has an 18 " wingspan, and is approximately 20 " long from the tip of the spinner; powered by a potent K & B .15 The ELEVATOR (rear flap) was controlled by cables and is in working condition, except that the outreach cables are missing. The propeller, a TF SPEED 6.8, freely turns the engine, with good compression. The restored paint has great brilliance; although it is OLD; it DISPLAYS BEAUTIFULLY!! P lease review the photos as they are considered to be a part of this description. These SPEED PLANES often took off on a carriage, leaving the wheels behind for LOWER RESISTANCE and GREATER SPEED; landing on the belly when the run is complete. This K & B powered plane would have run in the AMA (Academy of Model Aeronautics) CLASS A .19 typically running up to 35% NITRO attaining SPEEDS up to 140 MPH! The flyer would control this SPEEDY plane with a U-CONTROL handle. A SPEED PLANE operates much like a TETHER CAR ...but in the air!! The take-off carriage IS included in this auction. Offered here at NO RESERVE ; shipping (Continental USA) $30.00 due to the size/shape of the box; PAYMENT is expected within 3 days please. Don't let this ORIGINAL 1947 SPEED PLANE FLY BY!! INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS PLEASE NOTE: I ship only USPS Priority Mail International
