Aeronaut Luscombe Silvaire 8 Electric KitIt was a sensation when the Luscombe Model 8, later to be called Silvaire, was released as a two seater light aircraft. The Silvaire had a monocoque dural structure and was well ahead of its time. Over time the Silvaire experienced various changes and upgrades until it reached its final stage when the wing was redesigned to an all metal monocoque design in 1946. Another novelty was the completely enclosed horizontally opposed engine in the Silvaire.
