Horst had the wings and fuselage
trucked to his cabinet shop in New
Holland, Pennsylvania, where Tim
Weaver, the company's top craftsman,
worked on it full-time for 18 months. Horst
then brought the project to his maintenance
hangar at Smoketown Airport in
the Amish part of the state for everything
else. His son Kendall, a GA pilot and aviation
mechanic, played a central role in its
restoration, too.
" The fuselage was up on its wheels by
then, the structural parts were complete,
and the wings were about ready to be covered, "
Horst said. " But there was still a
long, long way to go. "
TWO HANDS
Sherman Fairchild, the son of an IBM
founder, was a serial inventor-entrepreneur
who launched a long string of
companies beginning with cameras during
World War I.
Fairchild invented one of the first
cameras designed for air-to-ground photography,
and he bought his first airplane
to perform aerial surveys. That airplane
turned out to be too twitchy, however, so
he started an aircraft manufacturing firm
54
AOPA PILOT / April 2022
in 1925 to create what
he needed: a big, sturdy,
high-wing monoplane
with a camera port in
the belly that allowed
photographers to shoot
straight down.
The FC-1 and FC-2 were made specifically
for aerial photography, and the
Fairchild 71, which first flew in 1926, was
a stretched, passenger version of those
camera airplanes. The Fairchild 71 was one
of the first aircraft where pilot and passengers
were fully enclosed, and it was
used extensively in cold climates. Soon,
some were fitted with skis, and Fairchild
Aircraft opened a subsidiary in Canada to
expand production.
The Fairchild 71 had folding wings
that enabled them to be sent around the
world by ship or rail. Because the aviation
infrastructure didn't exist in those days for
regular, long-distance air travel, Fairchild
used these other means to deliver aircraft,
and his company quickly became one of
the largest aircraft manufacturers in the
United States.
Many Fairchild 71s spent their working
lives in Canada where they were put into
Preparing the Fairchild for flight involves the
somewhat cumbersome process of unfolding
and securing the wings, a job Marlin and
Kendall Horst have performed together
countless times. The 450-horsepower Pratt
& Whitney R-985 engine isn't original, but it's
relatively easy to acquire and maintain, and
it's far more reliable than the Snap Cap model
that powered the Fairchild when it left the
factory.
