Statements
The [airplane] models are two-thirds actual size with wing spans of nearly 18 feet. They are made of pine, uncovered, and designed as outdoor sculpture that weather gradually and gracefully with time. Each is manned by a plastic pilot and has a movable propeller powered by a giant rubber band. Individual parts are numbered, while major sections easily disassemble for shipping or storage.
