The last holidays saved from the summer has been used this x-mas and new year to start two nostalgic projects.
Starting the planning finding plans is not the easiest way. The plans are from kits so there are not all parts drawn. It needs a lot of "reverse engineering" and a little fantasy to produce the parts needed. All parts are cut from sheets of balsa, from 1 mm to 20 mm (1/25" to 4/5") thick. Some parts are cut from ply.
The planes are Falcon 56 from Carl Goldberg produced from 1962 and RC Viking a model from 1958 designed for a one-channel radio (only rudder control).
This is the progress from x-mas until now when the projects have to wait until next holiday.
