Airplane Needs a new home - Free - will not ship - In St Louis Mo
« on: May 13, 2022, 01:18:06 PM »
This airplane came from the Lou Matustik estate and needs a new home.

We are giving this model away at zero cost but you have to pick it up in St Louis

McCoy 35
44" span
462 sq inches of wing area

I will not ship the model

I will be at Buder Park with the model on 5/14 and 5/15 and June 4-5 until the airplane has found a new home

   I'll hold it for you Mikey, but it's NOT a Ringmaster. We are not quite sure what it is. It has a top and bottom spar, which Rings do not have, and I'm pretty sure it's not a Flying Clown for the same reason. But it is pretty old model. Custom collector radio station bumper stickers patching the iron on covering! Classic Lou Matusik.

Thanks Dan,
Yeah it’s not an S1 RM not really sure, but it’s something.  The wing sorta looks like a Cosmic Wind look or a CG look to it,  I’m still interested in it (just love the look).

Hi Ty,
I think your correct, they are more like early 70’s stickers, but still very interesting and a unique way to use a bumper sticker.

Hi Dan. Those two bumper stickers are not radio station stickers,. I used to hand them out from 1970 through 1973 when we changed the type bumper sticker to a new style in 1973. I was on recruiting duty at the time. . Go Navy and Fly Navy are now collectors items.

    It might be on the bottom of the wing, or on another airplane that came out of the estate. This wasn't the only airplane with bumper sticker wing patches!!

Mikey,

the airplane is yours we can figure out how to get it to you
Where in the country are located?
Are you going to the Brodak fly-in? or the Aurora Ill contest on Labor Day?

Hi Fred,
Give it to Dan McEntee, we will figure that out later, I live in Minnesota but it seems the Dan and I run into each other at contests around the country.

Thanks,
Mikey
