Speaking of Riley and the Lone Star balsa fire disaster, before that happened, Riley was making a kit for the "Texas Rat" model, a stubby little thing that meets the rules for the nostalgia event. I have a couple of the old sidewinder rat kits - one is a "Scat Rat", as I recall . . if I decided to enter a contest, I even have a couple of the rear rotor K&B 40s that were used at the tail end of the 3-plane heat racing (and in fact one or the other probably was used that way 45 years or so ago).

P. S. I've visited the Lone Star Balsa web site since writing the message above, and if they are selling any kits of any kind now, they must be listed only in the downloaded catalog file.
