Glennis Aircraft has received several dozen requests for the original Scale Jet Wheels and brake systems for the BVM models.

While they are on our "legacy" list due to their lack of popularity in the past couple of years, we are now looking at the redesign and rerelease of these sets.    For those new to the hobby, the Glennis sets were the "must have" items in the late 1980's and 1990's for the then popular line of ducted fan kits - far in advance of any other manufacturer of wheels or brake systems.    Due to the fact that they were scale, and not just sport wheels, all of the major scale competitors used them right up to the demise of these kits.   

If you are in need of these Glennis originals, contact us about their redevelopment.

Buyers Beware . . . 

In the last month, we have become aware that individuals and some model orientated "businesses" are selling other products as genuine Glennis products.

These include some current and out of business "manufactuers.

The current tactic is to copy the Glennis brake literature, and invoices, and include it with the purchase to lead the customer to believe they have purchased actual Glennis products.

If you are not sure you are getting actual Glennis products, you should contact us to verify that  they are the real deal.

Glennis Aircraft will not attempt or consider repairs or sell replacement parts for  these items, and this will include "knock offs" or copies of Glennis items that some manufacturers sell.

If we are able to identify with certainy the individuals/companies involved with this they will be listed on Glennis.com in the future.

Paul Letourneau builds BIG.  His latest is this beautiful C-46.    The Commando has a 15 foot wingspan, and is 130 inches long.  Paul enlarged Bates plans, and the bare metal finish is rendered with McMaster Carr foil tape.

Why  Glennis?

Simple: 
Scale and Quality.  The Glennis 7 1/2" wheels were custom built,  exact scale on both sides
(story here),  and even under 93 pounds, roll stately underneath.

Not wanting to risk breaking 26x10 props, the decision to go with the Glennis Brake System  makes all braking smooth and precise also. 

Modelers  like Paul use Glennis' new large line of wheels to avoid the "go kart" tires and foam tires  that other companies use, and put the finishing scale touch to  these large scale models.
