[NSRCA-discussion] Remember Ed Sweeney?

[Bob Richards]

Or, you could just buy the Skylark ARF from Goldberg.

      If you want a Skylark, just get a Falcon and turn the fuselage upside down. That puts the wing on the bottom.
  The way I remember it, that was the origin of the Skylark.

    Ron,
   
  Cool. However, the only magazine that I know of that went out of business in 1975 was "American Aircraft Modeler", not RCM that just went out of business in the last year. I still have AAM issues from '73 - '75.
   
  I know, you are having another "senior moment".  :-)
   
  There was a local guy that started kitting some of the classic kits (sold his business recently to Wing Mfg) and was working on a Senior Skylark which Goldberg had prototyped but never produced. Not sure if it exists yet, but that should be a great flying plane. He had kits of the original Falcon and Skylark 56 kits, and many others from that era.

  I had a "blast from the past" show up at my little hobby shop door 
tonight: Ed Sweeney, who designed the R/C Nobler in the late 1960s 
or early 1970s, in the Washington, DC area and later was the 
publisher of R/C Modeler magazine, until it;s demise in 1975. Some 
of you may remember that he competed in Pattern contests in the 1960s 
with a prototype Goldberg Skylark 60, which eventually became a Top 
Flite kit. I originally met him in Washington about 1970.

He's temporarily here at Eglin AFB, working on a UAV (unmanned aerial 
vehicle) design competition and needed some parts for one of his 
autonomous vehicle designs. What a small world!
