Description: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE I AM NOT SELLING A KIT, only a new, full-size copy of the PLAN and construction article to build a 42" span CESSNA 140 UC model for yourself. This is the ONLY gas powered model PLAN I have ever found for a CESSNA 140. This is likely because the CESSNA 140 was a "tail dragger" and was soon to be replaced by tricycle gear 150s. For those not familiar with the difference between the two types of landing gear, Pop explained it this way: “In the early days of aviation, flying fields were all grass. The tail wheel was necessary for steering. It stayed in the grass and allowed safe turning. But, when asphalt runways finally began to appear, the tail wheel would bounce off the runway and the pilot would lose control. That is why we tore up over 60 L-19 Bird Dogs back in flight school. So CESSNA invented the tricycle gear using Steve Wittman's "crosswind" spring steel landing gear for the rear 2 wheels.” As a BONUS I include an excellent 2 page scale 3-view document to enhance your build, as well as a nice bio of designer Earl Stahl. YOU ARE PURCHASING A NICE, CLEAN, WHITE, FULL-SIZE COPY OF THE ORIGINAL PLAN AND CONSTRUCTION ARTICLE + BONUS SCALE DOCUMENTATION FOLDED AND IN A MANILA ENVELOPE. “Cessna 140 plans are EXCELLENT! VERY PLEASED! FAST service! MANY THANKS! 5 Stars” Van H. Oklahoma City, OK
