Default RE: Dragon Fli

I tried to find them but had no luck. I think it was a PO Box. They sold the kit out of the back of their car at the Dahlgren VA Navel Air Station RC Pattern meet probably 1972. This
was the meet where Tony Bonetti, Phil Kraft, Jim Martin et al where there. I beleive the pictures of Martin's Banshee that have been circulating around were
taken at this meet. The kit was 60.00 bought by my dad. Fuse was Polyester resin with gel coat color and wings and elevators were plastic covered foam.
I have no idea who the guys were but the kit seemed very nice to me. I also saw a wood plug for a Banshee that a guy was carrying around. In the formula
one pits smelled Banana Oil for the first time. Whoa what an oder! Harold goldklank and buddies were there. He seemed like a Rodney Dangerfield character with
his cigar and Brooklyn accent. Probably Bob Violet and Cliff Telford as well.
