The Warren Truss Bridge, Long Version Discription

A Warren truss bridge is strong, lightweight and easy to build. This model is also perfect for a slot-car tracks, or single lane of O-scale model trains or two lanes of HO-scale model train sets, for simultaneous two-way traffic. The completed model is 34" (almost Three Feet!) long, 7" (seven inches) wide and 7" (seven inches) tall. This version uses stronger truss members and dove-tail style joints for even more strength! We tested it by stacking three 5-gallon water jugs on top. That's 15 gallons of water, and at 8 lbs. per gallon that's 120 lbs of weight! The kit comes with all wooden parts, assembly instructions and road bed graphics for two-lane and four-lane road patterns. The only things you need to supply are wood glue and a few simple tools - Scissors, a ruler and an optional utility knife are all you really need. Sandpaper is also optional. The kit takes about two to four hours to fully assemble. Designed and manufactured in the USA, this bridge is precision cut by computers from top quality solid oak, formaldehyde-free domestic plywood. It is an architectural model kit designed for school science projects, model train hobbyists and all bridge enthusiasts. A Warren truss bridge is composed of connected elements which may be stressed from tension, compression, or sometimes both in response to dynamic loads. Truss bridges are one of the oldest types of modern bridges. This truss bridge model has a fairly simple design and is particularly strong and easy to construct. The detailed instructions include a section on bridge analysis, demonstrating which members are in tension and which ones are in compression, and what that means in regard to truss bridge design. It's a great introduction to the science of statics (the physics of structures) and civil engineering, and its a fun project to build too! (Water jugs, bricks, trained stunt children, train sets and model cars and trucks are not included with bridge kit. Shown for scale comparison only.)

GeeBee R-1 - 1/20 scale model Discription

The Gee Bee Model R Super Sportster (also known as the GB Sportster), sometimes nicknamed The Flying Silo due to the short, fat fuselage resembling that type of farm storage building, was a special purpose racing aircraft made by Granville Brothers Aircraft of Springfield, Massachusetts. Gee Bee stands for Granville Brothers.

The 1932 R-1 and its sister ship, the R-2, were the successors of the previous year's Thompson Trophy-winning Model Z. It was suspected by a few that the Model Z's crash during a speed run in December 1931 was due to an unexpected failure of the gasoline tank cap, which may have been ripped off of the fuel tank filler tube by the aerodynamic boundary layer of air immediately over the surface of the airplane's fuselage, resulting in the now-airborne gas cap smashing into the pilot's face. A bullet-proof windscreen and internal fuel caps were part of the new design. Chief engineer Howell 'Pete' Miller and Zantford 'Granny' Granville spent three days of wind tunnel testing at NYU with aeronautical engineering professor Alexander Klemin. The aircraft had a very peculiar design. Granny reasoned that a teardrop-shaped fuselage would have lower drag than a straight-tapered one, so the fuselage was wider than the engine at its widest point (at the wing attachment point). The cockpit was located very far aft, just in front of the vertical stabilizer, in order to give the racing pilot better vision while making crowded pylon turns. In addition, it turned out that the fuselage acted as an airfoil, just like the 'lifting-body' designs of the 1960s. This allowed the plane to make tight 'knife-edge' turns without losing altitude. It was, in effect, a Pratt & Whitney R-1340 engine with wings and a tail on it.
