Reproductions of the JETCO and JASCO Free Flight Sport Models

JASCO (Junior Aeronautical Supply Company) and JETCO were companies started and operated by members of the Zaic family. JASCO was the first company and was created by Frank Zaic. After WWII Frank became a full time draftsman and the company transferred to his brother John and sister Christine. Frank wanted to retain the JASCO name so the company name changed to JETCO. Some of the JASCO designs were retained under the new JETCO name. As a result, you can find old kits and plans of the same model with either company name on them.

Several very nice rubber powered sport models were developed. Presented here are my reproductions of these models.

I do hope that if you decide to build any of these models, you will receive much enjoyment.

JETCO/JASCO Free Flight Sport Models
Hawk. This is a rubber powered model. It has a 25" wing span. Construction is mainly balsa with tissue covering. The kit came with a commercial prop. Early kits had a sawn wood prop that required finish carving and sanding. Later kits came with a plastic prop. The original kit plan included a drawing for a blank to produce a hand carved prop.

The CAD drawn plan package including an illustrated assembly guide is here (440 Kb). The plan has been set up to print on U.S. letter size sheets of paper (8.5" x 11"). Six printed sheets are taped together in two sheet pairs to form three building sheets.

The layouts I used for printing the tissue are here  (122 Kb). There are 7 legal size (8.5" x 14") sheets. The fuselage panels are split along the forward edge of the checker board section. That edge lines up with the fuselage uprights and cross pieces for easy splicing of the printed panels when applied to the model.

The original kit plan can be found on the Outerzone here.

JETCO Falcon left frontJETCO Falcon LR Falcon. This is a low wing version of the Hawk. Like the Hawk, it has a 25" wing span. The fuselage and fin are a bit different than the Hawk. Like the Hawk, construction is mainly balsa with tissue covering. The kit came with a commercial prop. Early kits had a sawn wood prop that required finish carving and sanding. Later kits came with a plastic prop. The original kit plan included a drawing for a blank to produce a hand carved prop.

The CAD drawn plan package including an illustrated assembly guide is here (530 Kb). The plan has been set up to print on U.S. letter size sheets of paper (8.5" x 11"). Seven printed sheets are taped together to form three building sheets.

The layouts I used for printing the tissue are here  (55 Kb). There are 7 legal size (8.5" x 14") sheets. The fuselage panels are split into two pieces so legal size sheets can be used. The splice lines up with the fuselage uprights and cross pieces for easy splicing of the printed panels when applied to the model.

JETCO Lark left frontJETCO Lark Top Left Rear Lark. This is a 27 1/2" span model. It was introduced in the early 60's under the JETCO label. The model is covered with ink jet printed tissue.

The CAD drawn plan package including an illustrated assembly guide is here (731 Kb). The plan has been set up to print on U.S. letter size sheets of paper (8.5" x 11"). Eleven printed sheets are taped together to form five building sheets.

The layouts I used for printing the tissue are here  (37 Kb). These layouts are set up in a 8.5" x 22" format. I taped two letter size sheets (8.5" x 11") together to serve as a backing sheet. Many printers will allow you to set a custom print size. That will be required to print the Lark layouts as provided here.
