Yes, I did have a "senior moment".  It was American Aircraft Modeler  
magazine that went out of business in 1975.

However, There was another "senior moment" in there too.   The  
Goldberg Skylark 60 was kitted by Goldberg.  It was Top Flite who  
kitted the R/C Nobler.  Getting old isn't for sissies.
