Boeing #307B  Stratoliner

This aircraft was built in the winter of 2006-07.  Has 180" wingspan, about 1/7th scale, powered with Zenoah G-26's.  Has homemade retractable gear.  Weighs in at about 91 lbs.  First and second flights were on April 20, 2007.  Plane handled well although quite underpowered. May 2nd 2007.  3 more flights today bringing the total to 8.  All went quite well as plane seems very stall resistant. This replica was modeled after one of I believe only 15 built by Boeing around 1940.  This particular plane was done up in TWA livery with a false serial number for a sales trip. Sept 2007- Plane totaled 34 flights for the year with only one incident at WOD.  Damage was slight and the pilot of that flight shall remain unnamed.
