Hey Ted! Those are TUBE STEAKS and then the Hamburger Steaks, don't'cha know? Make up some Texas Toast, some brown gravy and mashed potatoes, flop on a bunch of sauteed mushrooms, pop the top on a cold one and life IS GOOD!

Back to toy airplane reality: My club has, in the past several years, inherited several models and associated equipment from those "Flying West". The club has held auctions and made a few $$. With almost $20,000.00 damage from Ike, those yankee dollars are welcome.
Just recently we hosted our annual Anniversary Fly In, where all visitors come and fly free and eat free.. The wife of one departed member gave us a Spitfire, which one I forget, with radio and a 4-strokin' .90. One of the club members finished it off and painted it even though it was an ARF. The raffle got around $2000.00. Not bad for a freebie.

So when opportunity knocks, I say, "Open that door." "3 CORDER Skill" probably translates to 3 QUARTER SCALE. Probably has radio/s and gas-burner engines. I would take a look-see.
