Default RE: FLITE STREAK arrived today

This makes me think about when we did not know better. Ambroid or Testers glue on gauze bandage material to reinforce wing to fuselage joint. Same with the elevator. Also a single platform for the bellcrank mount. Standard Perfect tanks behind a McCoy 35 Redhead. Silkspan was glued on as I did not know about doping it on. Then only three coats of clear sanded before maybe enough color to look solid. Wore the planes out flying them. Then joined a club and started learning all the stuff I was doing was wrong. Sterling may have had lousy kits as far as todays standards, but, they taught you how to build. Follow the instructions on the Streak with a dependable engine and have fun. DOC Holliday
