Just so you know I know for a fact it was 1969 that is was flown. This airplane was flown at my dads Hobby shop in July 1969 in a contest we had in the parking lot. Just befor the moon landing and that how I know for sure.
Calling Randy Powell,
Just a short note to let you know the Continental is a classic legal airplane. Bob Whitely flew with Tom Warden
in the late 60's and Tom was flying the Continental in 1969. This was confirmed by Phil Granderson and Paul Walker.
Therefore, since the airplane was known to exist in 1969, before the article came out by a couple of years, then it meets the classic eligibility requirements. This was all hashed out over on the other board (SSW) back in about 2001-2002. In fact what came to light is that both the Continental and Minado were direct descendants of
Jim Mayfeild's Playboy of 1966-67 extraction. There are just too many airplanes that were either built and flown or just plain designed before the cut off date of 12-31-1969 that were little known or unknown. That doesn't mean they
are not classic eligible.

Brining to light, true classics that are unknown........
