Vintage BOX CAR CHIEF 1947 UC Kit Model Airplane Plan

The 1947 BOX CAR CHIEF from Ricks Model Company had a thick airfoil and its shoulder wing was held in place with rubber bands---not a wise idea today, of course. But back then engines were using ignition timing and turned about 7-8,000 rpms. So they didn't put the strain on a plane that today's higher rpm (think 13,000) engines do. So the answer was to strengthen the original great stunt design for modern needs.

The ad I show for the BOX-CAR ran in the November, 1948, Air Trails magazine.

Here is a set of updated plans for this Old Time Stunt plane that allows you to put a nice Fox .35 in place. The wing span is 42 inches and the chord is 9-1/2 inches for 400 squares. The fuselage is indeed a sheet sided box with sheeting on the top and bottom. The wing is straight and needs only one rib pattern. It couldn't be any simpler to build than this.
