| I haven't blown up this plan yet. *LOL* My wife is even laughing at me over this post. Well done, sir! Yes, it will be rubber powered, if I can make the tailfeathers flat, that is... |

| Very cool to see these old kits. Are they still available? Are you going to rubber power this one? Will it have less than a 36 foot wingspan? |

3207 Comet Phantom Fury 32 inch Wingspan Endurance Competition Balsa Flying Model Airplane 1960s/70s reissue of one of the more famous free-flight models of the 1930s. These aircraft were common in the 1930s when the sport of free-flight model airplanes reached it's zenith. It was not uncommon for these models to fly for 45 minutes or more on rubber power alone - many flew out of site, and it became common practice to write your name, address and phone number on the covering tissue. Comet was a famous manufacture of stick and tissue flying and static models. In the 1930s Great Depression, they lead the low-priced kit revolution with the "Dime Scale" kits and famous advertisements in Model Airplane News magazine and others. Comet reached it's peak in the 1930s when they acquired the services of Carl Goldberg. Goldberg was a highly accomplished modeler with articles in Model Airplane News and famous designs that won him several National level competitions in the 1930s and beyond. (Carl Goldberg went on to found his own company and produced well designed and popular free-flight and RC aircraft). Comet survived the post World War economic slump and continued kit production until they were bought out by long-time competitor Guillow's in 1998. Kit features traditional wood/tissue construction, detailed full size plans, building instructions, hardware, wheels and canopy material, tissue and propeller. |
