I recently was writing to a friend about the fact that he and his business partners came upon an estate that contained some old model aircraft.
He placed a photograph of the old aircraft in the advertisement that he listed some old glow engines he was selling.
I wrote him about the old aircraft and he informed me that his business partner and wife un bolted the engines from them and place them in a fire and burned them!
OWWWWWW! Ohhh my freekin' GAWDDDDDDD! These were old control liners that were built in the 1940's and 1950's, BEFORE,yes I said BEFORE radio control or better known as R/C was ever even invented!
The planes were controlled by long wires and went around in a circle. There were many many contests held Nationally for these type model aircraft. Some divisions were: Navy Carrier,Profile,Speed, Warbirds,Combat,Stunt, and many others. What a shame they burned them! Let's hope I can reach others and save these old antique planes from extinction! God Bless America- Goodnight.
