On August 23, 1931, just five days prior to having to leave for the start of the Bendix Race, the Super Solution rolled out of Matty Laird\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s factory.\u00c2\u00a0 The little racer glistened with a viridian green fuselage and Kodak yellow wings, the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Skyways Inc\u00e2\u20ac\u009d appeared on the fuselage side; further aft on the fuselage was a large race number 400. The cockpit was tucked in behind the engine and the fuel tanks.\u00c2\u00a0 Large side panels folded down on both sides for entry and quick exit if there were trouble.\u00c2\u00a0 Forward visibility was not possible, but upwards over the wing and sideways was good.\u00c2\u00a0 To insure the highest speeds possible out of the airplane, Matty endeavored to minimize frontal area.\u00c2\u00a0 These Lairds were built for speed.\u00c2\u00a0 The Super Solution carried a 21 foot upper wing and an 18 foot lower wing with about 108 sq feet total; fully loaded, it grossed at 2675 pounds, and while empty it weighed 1780 pounds.\u00c2\u00a0 Jimmy Doolittle was first to test fly the airplane and noted that the engines high torque did not create any difficult control problems; however, the large 9 foot prop appeared to have quite a blanking effect on the control surfaces, especially during landing, and created difficulty getting the tail all the way down.\u00c2\u00a0 Ultimately, engine stress from previous races caused Doolittle to drop out of the Thompson Trophy race that year.<\/p>\n

For the Modeler:<\/strong> This is review is for the Laird Super Solution Air Racer 1:32 Scale Wms<\/sup> Bros Model Kit #0050-32510-01. It is a Skill Level 3 kit with ~40 pieces molded in gray with a clear canopy and waterslide decals for the advanced builder.\u00c2\u00a0 This is a refreshed set of molds for the re-release of the kit and a new box art from the previous release. Rigging is made significantly easier with the materials used in this review so they always look great despite of their age. However, this kit doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t require much masking to replicate the original plane and the decals are very manageable. With a few other tweaks this kit can be built and look great at a skill level 2 rating.\u00c2\u00a0 Finished dimensions are: Length: 8-\u00c2\u00bc”, Width: 3″, Height: 2-\u00c2\u00bc”.<\/p>\n
