The original Cloudbuster is now sold by Guillow as the Fly Boy. Why they rearranged the name to this and named the ROG with stick fuselage to Cloudbuster when Comet had it the other way around beats me. I remember the Cloudbuster as an 11 year old. It was smaller and the Guillow description of 21" wingspan matches what I recall. I bought and built the larger Ed Lidgard's 30" Comet Sparky. It is the largest rubber powered I ever built, an ambitious project for an 11 YO. (I think I paid around $1.25 back in 1965 at the Cornet department store, I built over a half dozen other smaller Comet stick and tissue kits, so I was ready.)
