RE: Sheet metal models?
I remember when I was growing up in the fifties, my father had an all aluminum P-51 Mustang. It was a C/L model and was magnificent. The motor looked like it was in the .29 to .35 range and it had never been flown. When my father started liquidating some of his collection, it was the first to go(about 1970). As I look back, I can't remember a brand name, but, the plane was stunning. I think he sold it for $700 or $800 back then(along with his mint, in the box, Morton M-5 which he sold for $500.) The Mustang was absolutely flawless and the aluminum shined brightly. Quite possibly, that plane, was responsible for my continued interest in the hobby today(although it's R/C now)! I will never forget it. The wingspan was about32 or 34 inches. Anyone remember it?
