Well after several aborted E-bay bidding wars, and trying a few other avenues I finally scored complete FireBaby kit.  
I have wanted one for a few years since I found an old photo of my dad when he was stationed in Germany in the early 50s. He is sitting on the steps of their barracks holding a completed FireBaby and looking quite content.

I plan to use it for patterns, see if I can replicate the aluminum wing and motor mounts, and make one in his memory. Then I'll still have the original w/box for my collection. Going to have to get one of my OK Cubs out and get it ready for duty.

Scored a couple FireBees  too. I probably paid too much, but it was my birthday when I saw the ad, so I gave myself a present!

Congratulations Bill, and Larry. 

My first control line airplane was a Firebaby, and it was powered with an early McCoy .049 diesel. I used my home made fuel mix, and wood +6X4 props.
It flew very well for the type.

I'm not sure, but I think it might have been the first c/l ARF ever marketed.

Years ago, I spoke with Frank Macy about buying one (replica), and he was asking about $100 for the one he had in stock. It was not the original wood fuselage version, so I declined. I seriously considered offering $100 for the one you bought, but my birthday is later this month. 

Is yours an original version, with a balloon tank inside the snap-on canopy?

Don't  forget the pics so we have something  to drool over.
