The CH-400 Skyrocket was a higher powered development of the Wright-Bellanca series and the later CH-300 Pacemaker. The Skyrocket was intended to be a more sporting airplane for wealthy customers demanding speed and comfort. Its qualities also attracted the attention of commercial operators and Skyrockets were soon doing the heavy lifting in the Canadian and Alaskan bush. Early owners included movie stars, the US Navy and Marines, Colorado-Utah Airways, Alaska Star, Wien, Alaska Air Transport and the Treadwell-Yukon Mining Company amongst others.
This is Khee-Kha's second kit. Khee-Kha's growing line of civil types is a welcome break from the mainstream manufacturers. Lars Opland, owner and entire staff of Khee-Kha, lives in Alaska and is keenly interested in the aviation history of his state and of western Canada.
Each kit provides the basic airframe in vac-formed styrene, with cast polyurethane resin engine details and clear windshield. Plans and diagrams are provided in the instruction booklets to aid in constructing accurate replicas of these classics.
NO DECALS ARE INCLUDED WITH THIS KIT.
