Stinson Reliant
Kit FF-23 Stinson Reliant is a 1/28 scale, flying model of the 1938
Stinson Reliant SR-10. It uses the Box and
Former method of construction. Our model was designed September
21, 1939 by Ron Clarke. Eligible for Society of Antique Modelers
(SAM) contests. It took third place at the Muncie, IN contest in
1999.
In 1939, an experimental airmail “sky hook” service
was introduced in rural communities that lacked air strips. A bag
loaded with mail was positioned on the top of a tall pole. A Stinson
Reliant swooped down as the flight officer grappled the airmail
container with a long hook while incoming airmail was dropped from
the plane to a waiting post office representative.
This free flight rubber powered kit contains a
full-size rolled plan, building and flying instructions, printed
balsa, hand-picked balsa strip wood, rubber motor, propeller, nose
package, press-on markings , clear plastic for the windshield,
wheels, landing gear, and Easy Built Lite tissue in
dark navy blue and orange.
You will need a building board, pins, hobby
knife, fine sandpaper, and glue.
