This is a full kit for a Mini-XL Old Time Cleveland Models
"Viking". The Viking is a cabin model with a wing that looks quite
like that of the Playboy. 'XL' means that this series is larger: 29.8"
span with about 115 sq inches of area, just under the maximum size allowed
for the Flying Aces (FAC) old timer electric replica event.
Electric power should be a HiLine Mini-6,
a VL HY70, or some of the larger CO2 motors of about 120 size and up.
Kit contents: balsa and ply printwood, wire, 4 sheets of Esaki
genuine Japanese tissue, windshield plastic and a couple of Viking
sticky-back decals.
Price: $24 postpaid.
