I built the old 56 way back when. Have the new kit. Besides the plywood fuse and bolt on wing is there any major difference. Have an OS 35 R/C from 75 and 75 Kraft SS both mint , radio updated and looking for a new home. Can't use plastic covering on this one would not be right. Thinking of fabic---or I have a ton of the colored silk they used to make. Now dope and silk, who could ask for any thing better. Only thing the ply fuse might not look good in silk, may be better getting the all balsa Falcon 56 by Easy Built Models.

the original had balsa spars I think the mark 2 had balsa spars with bass laminated to them do not know what the 3 has for spars seems like it would be easier to use solid bass spars.I think the fin is different also.you could always use the iron on coverings but monokote is pre 1970 by a few years so using it would still be from that era

Looked at the plans, main spar has bass or spruce glued to top and bottom rest looks the same. As for fin 1/4 sheet, I think org. was 3/16. Stab same. I think front top of fuse was rounded, new one is flat. Was the engine mounted on hard wood rails, new has two piece mount which they did not have back then.

actually the original had the engine mount on a 1/8 ply break away mount that was then bolted to the hardwood rails in the fuselage.I thought the newer kits added a dorsal to the front of the fin which the orginal did not have it just fit in slots in the stab and was pretty much self algining

This was because the entire tail was held on by rubber bands over the stab.
