No Soldering ...

No Special Tools ...

Build it Tonight ... Fly it Tomorrow!

Carl Goldberg

Talk about precision, this kit was assembled without pins or glue, each part so precise, it fits together perfectly. That's what we mean by "precision prefinished."

The Glo•Bug actually does everything in the official A.M.A. Precision Stunt Rule Book! It does consecutive inside loops " ... consecutive outside loops ... inverted flight ... horizontal eights ... vertical eights ... overhead eights ... square loops and whatever else you can devise!

It's the first full stunt solid balsa model. but weighs only 13 ounces including engine! The Glo•Bug is so rugged, it'll fly hours longer without a touch of glue for repairs! Every part is "precision prefinished." It's the easiest, fastest building kit on the market ... bar none! And that's no idle boast! Because ...

It's the first gas job in model aviation history requiring no soldering, no special tools. no paper covering, no carving and no printed sheets ... And with "plans that really explain," that's why it assembles in a jiffy.

Licensed to use the famous patented Jim Walker U-Control!

And Everyone of These Popular Kits is Made to Our Rigid "Precision Prefinished" Standards.
