Good post

I remember doing that with a Flite Streak. I think I had more fun flying a flite Streak that way than any other control line flying.

Monokote was a great weight saver. I never used the wheel.

I must have built a half dozen?

All the early silkspan ones had the original sweeping color scheme and colors.

In the very late 60's I used semi transparent Monokote with some trim do-dad pieces here and there.

Though I had several MCoy Red heads and the silver ones before that, I don't think I ever used a McCoy on a Flite Streak?

I used my 1958 Fox 35 and 1963 Fox 29 for years and the monokote ones had OS Max S35's in the late 60's.
