I have been racking by brain trying to think of the name of that "
company in Texas" that distributed the Mexican-made "pre-fabs" (Ready to Cover) wood models. I bought a couple and still have an RCM Trainer that they produced and I used to teach my son how to fly on. Their name is "
NAME Manufacturing" or Name MFG. They were nicely made balsa models with sheeted foam wings. If I remember correctly, they were pretty sparse on the hardware side but they were nicely sanded and ready to iron on your own covering. If I really believed my memory, I would suggest that Jim Simpson had a hand in this business. Jim use to work for EK Logictrol back in the mid 70s later I found that he was "dealing" in these kits as a distributor.
A mutual friend of ours use to bring the models up to Oklahoma in trade for the Kraft servos he didn't need. This was about 1982 when Joe Gross bought a Kraft Signature Series radio but liked the new JR servos better so he would trade off the new Kraft servos for these NAME MFG kits.
I don't remember what all designs they made but I do know that I still have the RCM Trainer with a K&B 40 pumper still in it.
Hopes this helps.
