GUILLEMIN JG10 (1931) at 1/66
In the early 1930s, aviation begins to democratize. In France, a leisure and tourism-oriented aviation is appearing. The JG10 responded to this request by proposing original solutions. In closed or torpedo versions, its wings offering comfortable surfaces, easily folded along the fuselage, making it easier to store or take in tow. Easy maintenance (all metal) the rear flanks of the fuselage were simply covered with laced moleskine. The parachutes were carried on the flanks of the fuselage increasing the comfort of the passengers whose seats and controls were waved back in the floor, thus proposing a flat surface capable of accommodating two air Mattresses. Despite its innovative solutions, it was not a success and it was built only in one copy. It should be noted that the Aicraft circular of N.A.C.A. No. 153 reproduces( in English of course) the articles published in the French Aeronautical press published in those years ago. https://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov/19930090457.pdf As my others models, this one is offered as a free download on my website.GUILLEMIN JG 10 - NOS BELLES "PLUMES" DU TEMPS PASSE.

Interesting subject and elegant design. Thank you very much.
One question, which reflects my limited ability with French. The instructions show the use of a metal wire for some parts, referring to it as "cap 3/10" or a thinner "cap 1/10". Is cap the word meaning a stiff wire (piano wire")? Is the fraction a measure of the diameter of the wire? Many thanks again.
