The Jenny is ancient history but a great flyer. What little is started, I would reglue the joints. Other than that, The DLE30 is going to be a great choice for that airframe. I had one years ago and it was a smooth, slow flyer. With the long wings and the relatively short fuse, you could really get a flat spin going fast and it would just float down. I think you'll like it! WT  |

thanks for the info i will be getting the plane in november. the fuse has been started but that is all it should be a fun project. i plan to fabric cover it and modd the wings so that i dont have to cart around a 96 inch wing
