Thank you

Catalog of
great Aircraft.
You folks

Rutans!"

Hello
Fellow Aviation
Enthusiast,
Garden Airways came about from my interest in
whirligigs
and flying. One day I combined the two and made a weather
vane of a Cessna 172 Skyhawk, the plane I was flying at the
time. It is #GA-101 in our catalog.
Before Garden
Airways there was
the Model Shop at Hughes
Aircraft Company where the Model Builders turned out high
quality Models in short periods of time. We received many Craftsmanship &
Superior Performance Awards.
As a Hughes Aircraft model builder of 14 years I did
fabrication design interpretation and construction of detailed
and complex prototypes for use in Customer Sales, Solving
design problems and Displays for shows.
In the Model Shop I worked from engineering drawings
and specifications, raw sketches and verbal direction using
innovative techniques. I worked to close tolerances in wood,
plastic, metal or whatever I could find that would do the job.
Customers were furnished with a completed product that was
not only beautiful to look at, but a functional, moving item.
Some of Our
Projects included: Radar units for attack
aircraft, like the F-18 and F-15; Optical Sights for aircraft,
tanks, helicopters; Space Shuttle Communications Array
and Satellite Release Mechanisms; Galileo Jupiter Descent
Probe Mock-Up & Wiring Fixture.
Garden Airways allowed me to combine my love of
aircraft with my abilities as a Modeler. The idea has grown
to include many other aircraft. I try to make each as realistic-
looking as possible for those who may have liked the real
aircraft, but could not own one. With a weathervane built
from a Garden Airways Plan, Your Imagination will let You
Pilot Your Own Personal Aircraft.
Garden
Airways will
continue to search for aircraft that are:
Exciting to the Imagination and to the Thrill of Flying.
