[MT-ALES] Old school

Fabulous!
DO NOT touch that covering!
A little modification for R/C would be neat.  ;)

Ford, I'd try again if you want your old AMA number back.

If they have your old number and it's you and not some paperwork SNAFU or was reissued which they normally aren't then you may have the change by the end of the day.

I thought you might get a kick out of these pics.  This is a Guillows Fokker built in the early 1960’s by my Dad and still in the original tissue and dope covering.  Found it tucked away in the rafters of his shop after he passed.  I built a Stearman in yellow Navy cadet colors at the same time, but it met its untimely demise at the hands of a large sugar maple!  No photos of that one.  LOL!  We flew these models FF with Cox .020 motors and they flew pretty well.  No DT was used!

I have thought about recovering and finishing the Fokker, but on the other hand I like the original patina and Dad’s hand painted lettering on the fuse side.
