Your Model shown fired up my interest. What size engine is on the plane? It looks like a McCoy bluehead R/C.
Orv.
Hi Orv,
It does have a blue head, just checked. It's a .19 and has an exhaust baffle.
Now, I would tell you this plane doesn't mean much to me but I was hoping someone knew what it was.
If you are interested in having it, the major obstacle is shipping costs for this solid pine airplane to Saskatoon.
If you're interested in having it let me know. Something like this plane I prefer to have it in the hands of someone that it matters to. I was hoping it might have some N-factor (Nostalgia) for someone.
Cheers,
Peter
PS I'm in NY, not Arkansas. Some time ago, Poughkeepsie AR started popping up in google searches. The name comes form a local Native American tribe - means Little Hut by the River I think - and I have been wanting to know who from here moved to AR and didn't name it _New_ Poughkeepsie, There is a Poughkeepsie Gulch in Colorado, a place where they do some serious 4-Wheeling - again, someone with a sense of humor from this town that went there, sometime.
Here's what you get when you let Google Maps take you to Pok AR, in Street View (I can't believe Google paid someone to go all the way out there and get this picture)
