In addition to the trainers, (one called ''the Beast'' because it hit her on the shoulder),
Came across this shot in the January 1961 edition of American Modeler.

Yup that's it. I thought it was a strange name for a plane until I learned the circumstances behind it. That airplane and wing were in the collection. In spite of being hit with it on the shoulder, Helen seems to remember it fondly, and talked about it several times. I think she used it to learn to fly as well.
