The FT Jenny XL is an iconic fast build representation of the classic Curtis JN-4 “Jenny”. This large 58 inch biplane was designed by Dave Jester to build fast and fly slow!  In as little as three hours, you can go from the build table to the skies and experience all the thrills of classic barnstorming flight.

The FT Jenny XL is a 4 channel aircraft, which gives you aileron, rudder, elevator, and throttle control.  This large scale aircraft flies so slow, it can easily be enjoyed in a large back yard, Park, or soccer field.

The FT Jenny XL was also a special project as a special surprise for our wonderful team leader, backbone of Flite Test, and the beloved wife of Josh Bixler. For over 10 years, Jen Bixler has requested this very airplane to be added into the FT hanger for not only her love of vintage aviation, but of course it's awesome name!  Dave Jester and Josh Bixler collaborated together to create a gentle larger trainer version of the Jenny to allow Jen and other new pilots to experience the wonders of flight in style.

If you’re ready to take to the skies, grab your scarf and goggles and of course a hot glue gun. I hope that this awesome little plane brings as many smiles and memories for you as it has for us.  

If your passion is scale, you can easily upgrade this aircraft with optional 3D printed engine halves or the entire cowling! We even have you covered (literally) with optional decals to take you from military to flying circus!  One of our favorite features of the Jenny XL is the included flying wires that not only add amazing strength, but also complete the scale look of the Jenny.

To build the Jenny XL, simply use the build video of the FT Mighty Mini Jenny along with the Jenny XL Build Supplemental Article.  The Jenny XL build is very similar to the FT Mighty Mini Jenny and the build supplemental article shows the changes and additional steps needed to complete your project.
