The Curtiss JN-4 "Jenny" two-seat biplane was one of the most popular airplanes of all time. Jennys were the
primary trainer for 95% of all World War I United States and Canadian pilots, and they were used in flying
schools in Australia, the United Kingdom and France. The Jenny was the first mass-produced airplane; by the
time Armistice was declared in 1918, well over 6,000 JN-4s had been built.
After the war thousands of surplus Jennys were sold to private owners at bargain prices. Charles Lindbergh"s
first airplane was a surplus Jenny - purchased in 1923 for $500.
Today, only about 50 Jennys survive in museums or in the hands of a few fortunate private owners.
This super-transportable ARF model of the Jenny is close in scale to the actual JN-4 Jenny (although some
necessary changes were made to meet the needs of RC pilots). It includes a custom-fit, foam-lined aluminum
carrying case and is recommended for semi-scale RC enthusiasts with intermediate assembly and flying skills.
We invite you to enjoy the pride of ownership and the joy of flying
this beautiful model of the famous JN-4 Jenny.
