Flying the model plane
Zimmerman, Noyes, and McKellar build an aircraft large enough to carry a person

The electric model was equipped with electromagnetic remote controls which were operated by two "pilots"
The electric model was capable of landing from hovering flight with little forward motion
A full-sized plane, the V-173, was completed in 1942
The plane was first checked for ground handling and behavior in shot stops
The first flight was made at Stratford, Connecticut, on November 23, 1942, with Mr. Boone T. Guyton as the pilot
After the first flight, there were many improvements and test flights made before the final aircraft could be completed
