Hi Joakim,
Would be nice to get some Starfighters decal(s) if you can do without some of them.
I had my own Graupner Cirrus also in middle of 1970th but the fuselage broke in two pieces since it was not so strong (ABS). I used a thin rubber rope and wow what acceleration it got up in the sky - the wings really flexed. One time I forgot to turn the reciever power on and released it in the rubber "catapult" rope and oboy what I felt stupid and had to watch the plane fly on it's own, it managed to fly by itself and landed safely on the field again. I have never forgot to turn on reciever power since. So You still have a Cirrus with a Pro Line radio, that is rare these days. I have been looking for a Graupner Cirrus kit on ebay for long long time but not found any good (I suppose there are few left). Pro Line radio was my dream radio when I was young but I had to settle with the less expensive EK-logictrol super pro 7 ch (that I still have in my "drawer" - I think it still work if I put in new batteries in TX and RX) but it is 27 MHz band so probably not wise to use it anymore.

<font color="#000000">Pattern</font> Association? Well why not, I have seen there have been some gatherings in Sweden of some of the old pattern flyers fromthe past. There is the Swedish Aeromodeller´s Oldtimer Association (Svenska Modellflygares Oldtimer Sällskap, SMOS) but it covers much broader spectrum of model flying and before RC even existed (free flight, line control, RC etc).
I remember You had a question some time ago about an old orange color pattern plane You havethat was finally identiffied by Benny Kjellgren as "Sly Bird" designed by Andreasson. That plane would be an interesting project to make a drawing of and build also. Have You flew anything with Your Sly Bird? What other old (and newer) pattern planes do you have?
Yes, I will tell Göran Ridderström when I speak to him next time You sent a greeting to him andit was Gerger Mårtensson's son that sent the greeting.
