RE: Falcon 56
The Falcon 56 was my second r/c plane back in '66. It had a K&B .23 green-head engine. The engine was so worn, you had to put straight castor oil in the exhaust to give it enough compression to start. I made my first solo with that combination, just a week before reporting to Marine boot camp. My next r/c flight was some 3 1/2 years later when I was stationed at the old Dallas Naval Air Station. Flew with a bunch of guys at North Park.
