Hishou Model Airplane Kit

This push propeller model airplane kit is decidedly modern in design, surprisingly it dates from the early years of aviation history in Japan. The Hishou is an A-shaped plane with two reverse propellers. The design dates from 1911 when three A-shaped models successfully crossed over the Sumida River in a flight contest. The kit uses balsa wood, ultralight Styrofoam, rubber bands and 5” reverse-pitch propellers. Each plane has a wingspan of 16” and overall length of 18”. Complete illustrated instructions are included. The kits are packed in boxes with appealing graphics in Japanese and English.
