Its not quite finished, but the museum’s Peanut Scale exhibit is coming along – check it out!<\/p>\n

While generally referred to as the “Peanut Scale” exhibit, the exhibit also features other related classes of Free Flight that are small, scale, and rubber-powered.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>The centerpiece of the exhibit are the models that help document the start of Peanut Scale modeling – reproductions of to the National Heath Parasol and Henry Struck’s Dallaire Howard Pete.\u00a0 Also shown is the Golden Peanut award won by Struck at the first Peanut Scale competition in 1967.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>Here’s a Peanut Scale Nieuport Scout XVII – we’re not sure of the history on this one, as it was found in our collection.<\/p>\n

\"Peanut<\/a>Tom Hallman’s Airco DH-2 is a beautiful example of the versatility of small scale Free Flight models.\u00a0 Originally built as a rubber-powered Peanut Scale, Tom later adapted it to compete in the powered categories, powered by a CO2 motor and then an electric motor.<\/p>\n

\"Tom<\/a>Pistachio scale models are scale, rubber-powered Free Flight models with a wingspan of eight inches.\u00a0 This Messerschmitt BFW M.20b built by Dave Linstrom sure looks tiny compared to the surrounding Peanut Scale models.<\/p>\n

\"Pistachio<\/a>No-cal, or \u201cno calorie\u201d models have a profile fuselage and a maximum wingspan of sixteen inches. The name refers to how thin the profile fuselage is compared to other models.\u00a0 This no-cal model\u00a0 was built by Don Butman to represent a P-51 Mustang.<\/p>\n

\"No-cal<\/a>Bostonian models are also a close relation to Peanut Scale.\u00a0 With a wingspan of sixteen inches or less, the model must be realistic, but not if not exactly scale.\u00a0 This example was donated by Bob Abernathy.<\/p>\n

\"Bostonian<\/a>This exhibit is part of the Free Flight exhibit in the museum’s main gallery.\u00a0 Check it out in person soon!<\/p>\n
