The 7W Executive was the Spartan Aircraft Company’s primary and most important aircraft for the company during the 1930’s and 1940’s, aimed primarily at the new wealthy, travelling clientele. The Executive was a luxurious machine whose interior finishes were made to order, rather like the high class cars of today, and many affluent individuals purchased their own machines, such as Howard Hughes and John Paul Getty. Introduced in 1936, only 34 of these machines were built. The subject of this kit, the UC-71, was a machine also used by the US Army Corps. The 7W Executive was also a very high performance machine for its time, taking part in the 1939 Bendix Air Races.
