Sam showed his giant scale Hawker Hurricane. It was built from plans he bought 20 years ago. He says he started the build about 10 years ago. The 92 inch span model has a 50cc gas engine and weighs about 30 pounds. It has air retracts, a fiberglass cowl and fiberglass cloth over balsa to simulate the metal skin on the nose and wings. Much of the fuselage structure and control surfaces are fabric covered. Many of the markings on the plane were done with press-on letters. There are actually two models of the Hurricane he's working on. One to work out the best way to build and finish, the other to be the best of what Sam learns.
The full size plane crashed in Russia during WW2. It was recovered and restored in New Zealand. Sam found many pictures of the restoration online to help in the construction of the model.Super Bowl Snow Fly (Saturday before the Super Bowl)
