SUPER 'J'

AMA Electric A/B Competition
and
Sport Model

54-1/2 in wingspan

CB Model Designs is expanding it's line of kits into the AMA Electic A/B arena. The SUPER 'J' is a scaled-up version of the JOULEBOX E-36 design. It was developed based on numerous JOULEBOX E-36 customer suggestions and request for a larger JOULEBOX to fly in the AMA Electric A/B events. . Maintaining the same arrangement and construction concept as the E-36 JOULEBOX, this design is simple and familiar to JOULEBOX E-36 builders and offers an easy transition to this larger size competition class.

RAMROD 280

eNostalgia Competition
and
Sport Model

41-3/4 in wingspan

CB Model Designs is excited to be a part of the eNostalgia movement. This model, our rendition of the infamous 1/2 A Ramrod 250, is easy to build and fly, much like the original gas powered model.

The RAMROD 280 was developed from a drawing Ramrod designer Ron St. Jean made for the John Pond plan Service, identified as the “Ramrod 250”. The date of this drawing is unknown, but the Ramrod came into play as a free flight contender in the mid-1950’s and on, in various sizes as developed by competition flyers utilizing the Ramrod configuration. The Pond plan shows a Cox Thermal Hopper .049 engine installed, and was targeted for 1/2A class competitions. The eNos version has followed the design intent of this drawing and based on the wing area, puts it in the Class ‘A’ competition bracket based on the NFFS rulebook sizing parameters for electric powered Nostalgia era designs. The name therefore has been updated to “RAMROD 280” to avoid confusion over wing sizing rules which limit 1/2A eNostalgia models to 250 square inches or less.

The APACHE II MK II is the next generation of the APACHE design that has evolved from Ralph Ray’s 1960 Nationals winning 1/2A gas model which was kitted by Veco for many years.
