A guy at the club bought this and we're racking our brains trying to figure out what it's called and what's the history around it. Can anyone fill us in.Thanx

It looks to me like a Griffon (sp?) - I think I remember the name. It was on the cover of RCM a long while ago held by Miss RCM (Wow!). I think there was a kit of it available at the time.

That is a plane called the Shriek. The kit was put out by Model Dynamics in the '70's. I thumbed through a 1973 issue of RCM that happened to be at hand and found an ad for it. The kit was designed for a .29 to .46 engine and sold for $55.00.
