Well halleluya!! Never thought I'd see those oldies, love those Musciano models
on the Blackhawk site.
I lost my Cub 049 in a freeflighter but got it back, the farmer who found it had
tried to start it with lighter fluid, and the plug was burnt out, must have tried
jump starting it from his tractor.
The Berkeley Privateers were flown from a ball diamond, and hand launched.
The pylon wasnt strong enough for the Fox 09, one model had its motor come
of in flight. It took a chunk out of the rudder as it departed, but the model landed
light as a feather. Good thing too, because the model had two mice as passengers.
It was their first flight and they ran away as soon as they were let out.
