Hi Tom,
Hi All,
Have you noticed that we've been discussing the old stuff under the heading
Malibu?
I don't think the Malibu would have flown worth a darn as a rudder-only. It
was definitel a CLASS III ship!

Tom:
I'd like to know more about what Bob's doing with the vintage airplane
thing.
I'd like to get involved in something where I could build an Astro Hog,
(designed by Fred Dunn, a good friend) and get with others of that same era.
Realizing, of course, the scarcity of K & B Green Head and Fox .59 and 35
engines, I realize some allowances have to be made, but, still, there oughta
be
a way..........
