Thanks Allan! I used the Model Shop, 18 Blenheim St, Newcastle! Sometimes balsa wood and a lot of Keilcraft, Veron and Frog kits rubber powered. All at 3/9d each! I also had a control line plane using a Mills .75 cc engine and a Mercury 1cc both diesel. Geoff Plews my mate once set off my free flight plane and forgot to set the rudder a.nd it went over Monkton, never to be seen again!!! Polaris, a 20" chuck glider. Thanks Allan!
