Jim Landon ( james.d.landon@lmco.com ) sent these scans of photos taken by Barry Stettler. Jim's description follows:
These are photos taken by Barry Stettler, of a Thomas Morse S4C Scout in a museum in New Jersey. Barry sent the original 4 X 5 prints to Jim Landon to help Jim with his model S4C. These photos formed the basis for certain details on Jim's model, especially the stitches on the wings, the ultra high gloss finish and the prop design. With Barry's permission Jim scanned them and sent them in so everyone can enjoy them.
Photographed by Lee Mensinger ( lemen@x25.net ) This aircraft is located in Pershing Texas and is owned by Roger Freeman and is thought to be the last flyable S4c in existence.
The owner, pilot, Roger Freeman has raised his hands to indicate that he has turned off the ignition and it is safe to help with the ground handling of the plane. The engine is a LeRhone Rotary with 80 HorsePower. it is extremely tail heavy and in flight it needs to have the control column far forward just to maintain level flight.
