New Addition: Kraft Gimlet

Before Phil Kraft opened his own radio control equipment company, he designed the RC Gimlet, featured in Model Airplane News October 1956.  J.M. Piednoir built this reproduction from plans obtained from AMA’s Plan Service for competition in the Vintage Radio Control Society (VRCS).   The engine, a Holland Hornet .049, was donated by Paul Thoms.

The kraft Gimlet is decked out in all orange tissue, with very few black details.
