This kit, by Golden Age Reproductions, is built to the Peerless  plans of 1937. This model was completed in Aug. '07.
 
There's very little color scheme documentation for this plane, so I chose to follow the colors described on the plans. It builds in to a very light plane, and at Wawayanda in Oct '07, it was flying very well. Somewhere in the range of 35-40 sec on a single loop of 3/16". I believe it will do better on a longer, braided motor.
