The tail feathers cut out of 1/8th balsa sheet without being sanded.

Yes I can imagine that was real money then now they 69 to 100 dollars witch is worth considering they are not produced any more.I pay alot for comet airplane kits they have to be in wraper but it takes me back to a time and I might find some old advertisement in side:]

I read these in the original and paid the huge price of a dime which was a small fortune to a 7 or 8 year old. Of course there was a large black market of trading comic books.

How many out there remember Captain Blackhawk and the Blackhawk Squadron fighting tyranny and oppresion. It is an interesting scheme . My wife looked up the comic books and found a lot of them for sale on e-bay.

The tail feathers are over build with many ribs. I decided to make these out of 1/8th balsa sheet.

A single sheet provides the pattern for the building parts. Be sure to make an extra set. I made three sets and was very glad I did,

This us my first build from Cleveland plans and I find them a bit of over engineered. The single sheet of XF5F-1 Skyrocket are no ecception. Before starting I made a second set so I could read the instructions on the sheet while building.
