A brief history of the model:
The Curtiss Robin was a high-wing monoplane introduced in the late 1920s, designed for utility, reliability, and long-distance capability. Its enclosed cabin and dependable Curtiss OX-5 engine made it a popular choice for personal and commercial aviation. Most famously, a modified Curtiss Robin named St. Louis set an endurance record in 1929 by remaining aloft for over 17 days, refuelled mid-air in a groundbreaking demonstration of aerial endurance.
