Stealth for Kids, USA
Rich Crupi, a longtime aviation enthusiast
from Hopkinsville, Kentucky built this 1/3rd
scale F-117A "Nighthawk" Stealth fighter for
his grandchildren. Crupi spent a total of three
years planning and building the stealth.

Although he originally intended the model to
be more for his grandkids to taxi in the local
Christmas parade, it quickly became clear
first to his family and then to him that it could
be a business venture. Stealth for Kids, USA
was born around the same time Crupi was
putting on his last coat of flat black.

The aircraft is powered by an electric 36 volt
golf cart engine and will taxi at 6 mph.  This
F-117A model has rudder pedals and an
operating canopy for children up to 4'10".
During the last two years of building the
Stealth, Crupi's friend George Ragan of
Hopkinsville, KY, assisted with building the
wings, tail fins, and the complex drive system
for the model. Crupi exhibits the Stealth at air
shows and schools, where he offers
photographs for purchase and science
lessons for school children.
