Default RE: Fibrini by Cox, Anyone familiar?

Well - I guess there haven't been any Cox Fibrini sightings for a few years! A good friend of mine gifted me with one of these early foam ARFs he found on eBay. He's also got a similarly constructed Chipmunk of the same era. Its a good looking little plane, and with some modern equipment (9 gram servos, parkflyer rx and a 2s lipo), it flies quite nicely, even with the vintage Mabuchi 540 direct drive brushed can. Its nearly silent and glides along gently on a calm day. I waited all winter to maiden on a nice calm day - The foam seems pretty delicate. Thought I'd share a couple of pics. Any other Fibrini pilots out there? Any one have any more info about this little bird? I haven't been able to find much at all.
