Aeronca built this low wing design, their only pre-war
low wing, in 1936. 66 were built, and at least three still exist today. This model was
featured in the March 1986 Scale R/C Modeler magazine. The model does
consistently well in flight scores at contests because of its smooth
flying characteristics, and is the subject of an extensive article in
one of Paul Matt's Historical Aviation
Albums, so you can also do well in the static competition, as the
prototype has. The scale airfoil is used, and the balsa, plywood, and
spruce structure closely replicates the original for excellent scale
fidelity. Templates for the landing gear spats are included. The
wing comes apart in three sections for easy portability. The OS 1.20
four stroke or equivalent is sufficient power for the LC. The airplane
is a knockout
on floats, and can be documented as a floatplane. The
plans (75 sq ft) are accompanied by building notes and photos.
