Thought I'd pass on a few memories.
One day I arrived at the field to see 2 guys flying Berkeley Privateers

Swell looking models, powered by Fox .09, that was a weird engine,
it would run backwards, had a reed valve like the Cox engines.
It was prone to catching fire, maybe it was the Missile Mist fuel.
One other time I was allowed to take the handle of a Topflite Flite Streak

Didnt last long at that, I remember the clouds going by at warp nine
and the bark of the unmuffled Enya 19.
My own favorite model was the Scientific American Boy, a profile
shoulder-winger with a Cub 049.
A very handsome model with black scalloped wings on yellow.
Has anyone ever seen plans for that?
