Curtiss Jenny 50" ARF

Curtiss Jenny 50" ARF
 
The Curtiss JN-4 "Jenny" two-seat biplane was one of the most popular airplanes of all time. It was the first mass-produced airplane and was manufactured in larger numbers than any previous American airplane. By the time of the Armistice in 1918, well over 6,000 JN-4s had been built. 
 
Jennies were used to train 95% of all World War I United States and Canadian pilots; flying schools in Australia, the United Kingdom and France also used them. Sadly, as a consequence, nearly 20% of all Jennys ever built were lost in the course of flight instruction. 
 
For a brief time after the war, the U.S. Postal Service used a few Jennies for airmail service between Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, and New York. Ultimately, the thousands of surplus JN-4s in the U.S. were sold to private owners at bargain prices. Charles Lindbergh’s first airplane was a surplus Jenny – purchased in 1923 for $500. Many of these new owners used their Jennies to earn a living as stunt pilots. Flying from unprepared fields on the outskirts of towns, they thrilled audiences with daring exhibitions of wing-walking, aerial trapeze work, and low-level aerobatics. 
 
The barnstorming era helped awaken America to aviation. However, this post-war glut of low-cost aircraft effectively killed the market for new aircraft until the mid-1920s, as the supply of surplus aircraft finally became exhausted. Today, only about 50 Jennies survive in museums or in the hands of a few fortunate private owners. 
 
50” Jenny is one of the Maxford USA legendary ARFs with lots of build in beautiful details. We try to make this ARF easy to assemble and set up, but pilot still need some knowledge such as pull-pull cable set up. Although some experienced beginner level pilots could easy handle it, we recommend this ARF to intimidate level pilots. V2025 is Made in the USA.
