Ok, not the exact airplane but one exactly like it. I hardly remember learning how to fly control line models. I was only about 4 at the time. I do remember the airplane and I do remember my dad holding me in his arms and helping fly it. Then later I recall flying it on my own. That model was the Thimble Drome TD-1 Sky Master. I have been looking for a long time for a decent condition model. Then the other day I found one. In un-flown condition. These have been very expensive and I missed the bidding until now. This one is in pristine condition.

Take off's are optional. Landings are mandatory, it's only a question of quality.

Thanks for sharing. I bet the guys on CEF would like to see it too. I think someone over there made a balsa tribute model.
