ORIGINAL: 50+AirYears
While reading this this morning, I decided to check the Stanzel web site. Seems some of the original kits are still available. Also many of their plans. I remember they became active sometime in the last year or two. Seems these are original kits, not reproductions. The Shark and Sharkadet are two ov the offerings.
If the one kit in the fourth picture between the Megow control liner and the Tiger Shark kits is a Vee Gee, I either have or had an article in an ole Air Trails showing Eddie (Rochester) anderson, of the old Jack Benny show, showing one off. Apparently, he helped finance the development of the kit.
Um, better hurry on the Stanzel stuff:

"I spoke with Ted Stanzel today, and they have decided to close down the business. Only the museum will remain open.
Ted indicated they have a lot of BALSA left, and it is for sale! This will assist those waiting for Riley to recover.
Ted can be reached at his Shulenburg, TX. plant by toll free # 800-422-6823.
Tell him Mike told you?
Thanks!"
