I also flew a high wing VANGUARD made by Guillow Co. powered by an .049 Golden Bee. I like to talk about old flying days !!
I had the same bird and engine combo but never flew or finished it finally gave it away back in 198? something ...Kinda regretted it.

By the way plans for several sizes of the mambo are available free at the outerzone site.
