I have edited the posts Dave, just for you

I forget the span of the Mathis Coyote, but it used an old OS 40.

Dinky = cute, toylike.

The very one! I now have another, in a FF Keil Kraft Bandit with radio assist
Maybe I will build another Phantom - that should bring back memories!

Thanks for the Edits Luke ..Heres my Dinky ,Toy like, and, CUTE,contribution to the thread .Not sure if you guys will recognize the plane or not .It`s a Cadet,(spelling is correct).Designed, by our favorite Moderator..It`s supposed to have a 1/4"plank fuse, but ,I can`t leave, well enough alone,and, built up the fuse,and sheeted it in with 1/32"balsa .I built this for my nephews ,but ,it has not been proven, to fly ,,,,YET.. I posted the weight somewhere,but can`t remember ,what it was(light).The designer was impressed ,anyways.I`ll look to see, if I can find what she weighed..It`ll will be maidened, as soon as ,I can get the Kids ,and weather ,to all co-operate,and come together,at the same time..I`m trying to get the Kids addicted/envolved, to this modelling stuff,C/L and R/C..I`ve started to enjoy, the building from drawings,aspect of the hobby,and want to stay away ,from the kit aspect.Enjoy your sport, Guys, and Gals too..Dave B.

Dave, looks too good for a trainer. Let us know when it flies.

The EconoHawk by J Widener from Flying models, 20 inch span. I can't remember which issue of Flying Models however, it was a free full sized plan. I built one of these some time ago and trained 6 people with it, a very good little trainer. I went to find it two weeks ago and it's gone, so here is the replacement. Cox Babe Bee with Kavan tank extension.

Well, I have just received a letter from Walt along with his catalog. What a nice guy ! I will be ordering some of his plans shortly. I knew he drew a lot of plans in his time, but man, I had no idea how many. I'm stoked, he is my favorite designer. Dinky here we come!

Updates Luke?
