Comet Models produced some really fine flying rubber-band powered free flight kits of the
AERONCA CHIEF
aircraft back in the 1930s and 40s. All of their big models had a 54" wing span---this
AERONCA CHIEF
and the
PLANS
for their
AERONCA "K"
and
TAYLORCRAFT
kits. Since these old Comet models were so big and stable in flight, they can all be converted by knowledgeable builders to RC for 1/2A gas or electric.
I have parts pattern sheets from the sheet wood from an old kit to go along with these plans thanks to a West Virginia friend, Jim Via. You can see the parts patterns on the right side of my picture of the model plans. I placed a yardstick over the plan to show that this is a full-size, not a miniature,
PLAN
.
The full-size
AERONCA CHIEF
that I show is hanging from the ceiling on display at the Southern Museum of Flight in my city of Birmingham, AL. This picture was taken on July 14, 2010. I show it only to illustrate what your completed model will look like.
I AM NOT SELLING A KIT
, only a new, full-size copy of my original 65-year-old Comet kit

along with the parts patterns.
This model is great for scratch builders who love to get some balsa wood and an X-acto knife and just relax away some time gluing two sticks together.
As a
BONUS
I include a nice history of the Aeronautical Corporation of America as well as a three page 3-view document.
