Hello Robert,
The little pencil is intriguing! Do you think
it actually came in the kit? Maybe the first owner flew
in the parking lot of the local Mini-Put.
Another C/L flyer lost to golf!
All kidding aside, your original wheels and decals got
me thinking about Concours judging.
A nice new set of modern foamies or spun aluminum wheels
might look better than the hard rubber tires that came from
Scientific, but when judging Musciano, should we be giving
extra credit for original equipment? When judging old
motorcycles they do give points for original anything.
I myself would certainly award higher points to a plane
with a real Scientific canopy than I would to an identical
plane with a modern repro.
What do you think gentlemen?
I've been fingered by the Powers That Be to run this year's
Toronto Musciano. I'm waiting to meet with the Brass so that
we can hack out the details, but you can visit the first
draft of my Musciano blog at...
www.musciano-rules-toronto.blogspot.comI don't want to hijack Robert's thread, so if you think we need
a new one to discuss this, let me know. (Or start one.)
