Thanks Jim, I had no idea it had changed names. I wasn't aware of the earlier version. The picture is the same for sure.

Good looking plane. I bet it will fly well also. How did you like yours? Not too bad if you built a second one.

I wonder why it did not last too long? Great kits usually are kitted for a long time.
I saw the  Space Master jr. advertised in a Sterling ad from 1958. The Flying Fool was kitted then and was for many years hence. It was a good but not great flier. Great looks though! I had a Flying Fool and it was a tough build for me as I was rather young and the parts did not fit well and the wood was quite heavy (or so it seemed to me). The first problem I ran into was that the die cut wing ribs were not all the same length and I just did not know how to handle that for a long time. It was a long slow build but I learned a lot from it.

Anyone have pictures of the Space Master jr. besides the one Sterling used on their box art?

I had a Sterling foam P-51 in the 60's and it was old then. It was control line and I believe that it came with an engine.

     You are right on the engine. Black Hawk Models was new back then and I was so impressed with the concept that I decided to make a simular model of a Waker Fireball. I invested all of Black Hawk's money into the project and lost it all. I tried everything I could to recoup some of the losses but I could not.
    We are back now!
