	The Curtiss JN-4 “Jenny”
		Douglas Thomas would join the Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Corporation and design the Curtiss J and N models, and Royal Navy pilot John Porte would be one of the pilots who crossed the Atlantic in a Curtiss seaplane.
		Curtiss built fewer than 200 Model J and Model N trainers for the Army and Navy before he decided in 1915 to launch the JN series.
		Curtiss combined the best qualities of both planes in the JN, which soon acquired the nickname "Jenny." After evaluation by the Army and Navy, a small number were ordered in 1915.

	Curtiss JN4 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Curtiss combined the best features of the model J and model N trainers, built for the Army and Navy, and began producting the JN or "Jenny" series of aircraft in 1915.
		The inverted Jenny is a United States postage stamp of 1918 in which a Curtiss JN4 airplane in the center of the design was accidentally printed upside-down.

		The Curtiss JN4-D or "Jenny" as it came to be known occupies a prestigious place in aviation history.
		The Jenny was the airplane of choice for most students and was perceived to be safer than either the standard or the Canuck, the latter of which had a reputation for weak construction.
		Curtiss then "reconditioned" the aircraft (which often meant just a new paint job) and they were sold on the civilian market at prices ranging between $4000-$5000.

		The Early Bird Jenny is a 2/3 scale replica of the famous Curtiss Jenny.
		The Jenny design is extremely strong and exceeds the design criteria for normal category General Aviation aircraft, however, the Jenny is not designed to withstand the wing loads experienced during aerobatics.
		The Jenny is not an aerobatic airplane and it would be very foolish to attempt any manuever which places unusally high loads on of the airframe.

	Curtiss JN-4D Jenny
		For many, the Jenny would be the first airplane that they would see close-up, and those with a few dollars in hand and their fear in check, typically would make their first flight in a Jenny.
		Curtiss added the letter N to the designation because the modified Model J incorporated significant features of his Model N. The designation officially became the JN-2.
		At the same time, Curtiss began an extensive marketing campaign highlighting the many civilian applications of the Jenny, which included commuting, photo-mapping, policing, medical use, forest patrol, real estate work, and pleasure flying, proclaiming that "the JN is a good machine for the sportsman.

	The Virginia Aviation Museum, 1916 SPAD VII
		Glenn A. Curtiss designed a series of aircraft from 1907 through 1915 including the J and N series, features of both series combined into the JN that culminated eventually into the beloved JN-4D Jenny, the most widely-produced trainer of World War I. The nickname "Jenny" was derived by slurring "JN" into "Jenny".
		Curtiss engaged B. Thomas to prepare the J design based on a British Admiralty specification for their Type 137 biplane.
		The Canuck, evolving from the Curtiss JN-3 Jenny, was called a JN-4 despite the fact that a JN-4 had previously been built by the United States in 1916.

		And the D-12 engine, from which the Rolls Falcon, and ultimately the Merlin are descended...So far as I know there is nobody in the World who has claim to have influenced aircraft design and production as he did, or had done.
		But the capitalists who bought the bogus Wright patents ganged up on Curtiss and `slapped him down,' as they say in the States, and he was too proud to fight back on propaganda.

		You’d give Professor Feenberg a run for his money.) But Clancy was good enough to e-mail me a link to Jenny’s excellent recent thoughts on critical pedagogy, which I’d been lame enough to overlook, and some stuff started to click between what Jenny and Curtiss had to say.
		The critical pedagogies that Jenny indicts rely upon a vague rhetoric of individualism and positioning, while actually ignoring individual and institutional context: they are simultaneously solipsistic, generalized, and abstracted from any concrete and particular context.
		They ignore what Curtiss points out, namely, that “No matter how clean or dirty your work is, no matter how much or little formal education you require for entry into a career, production does not serve to improve the lives of people, but to increase an impersonal aggregate wealth.

		The Curtiss "Jenny" America's most famous World War I airplane, was developed by combining the best features of the Curtiss "J" and "N" models.
		The Jenny was generally used for primary flight training, but some were equipped with machine guns and bomb racks for advanced training.
		The airplane soon became the mainstay of the "Barnstormer" of the 1920s, and some Jennies were still being flown in the 1930s.

		However, the Jenny does have a way of telling the pilot what airspeed it's flying at and that is related to the lack of elevator trim.
		Since the Jenny has no elevator trim, the amount of back pressure needed to deflect the elevator cannot be changed, so the position of the control stick always corresponds to the deflection of the elevators.
		In the Jenny, the key is to memorize the amount of up elevator that gives you about 45-50 knots, then keep the elevator there throughout your approach and use the throttle to control your descent.

		Glenn Curtiss of New York began selling his own aircraft in 1909, prompting many American aircraft hobbyists to turn entrepreneurial.
		When contracts were cancelled with the armistice the industry collapsed, leading to the reconfiguration of every significant aircraft firm.
		The post-war glut of light aircraft, like the Curtiss Jenny trainers in America, allowed anyone who dreamed of flying to become a pilot.

		The Curtiss JN-4 Jenny is a two-seat biplane trainer that was used during World War I by the United States of America and the Royal Canadian Air Force.
		The aircraft was developed from the Curtiss Model J, designed by B. Douglas Thomas, and the Curtiss Model N, and two earlier versions of the aircraft were produced, the JN-2 and JN-3, before the first JN-4 flew in 1916.
		The Jenny, as version JN-4B, was also used as the basis for the Curtiss N-9 seaplane, which first entered American military service in 1917 and was used as a trainer until 1927.

	Curtis Jenny
		The Curtiss Company then began a series of designs designated as J and N. These original designs incorporated the Curtiss control system wherein a fore and aft motion of the Control Column operated the elevators, a wheel worked the rudder, and a shoulder yoke operated the ailerons.
		The JN-3 version of this design replaced the original Curtiss controls with the Deperdussin control system in which the wheel operated the ailerons and the rudder was operated by a rudder bar.
		This is the version that is referred to when reference is made to the "Jenny".

		While normally I'm a fan of rudder only- my Sterling Jenny was something of a bear on rudder only.

		I'm fairly experienced at stick and tissue (but not electrics) and interested in the Dare Jenny but was concerned about the comments in here about their difficulty.
		I'm in the middle of building the Scout which I bought because I had heard so much about "laser" kits solving all of life's problems and while it is a nice kit, I find it is definitely not for beginners and I'm no longer convinced that laser kits offer a big improvement.

		The wings are grooved to take the tied together strut pairs, and this needs to be dealt with, but other than this, all that's needed is a little cockpit dressing to make it look like one of today's state of the art kits.
		And probably mistake in national markings on the wing, They rather should be wrapped around the wing and without outline, later this fokker was repainted all dark green and with this style of chess-board, but i'm not sure about this.
