My picture is dated 12/65, that puts me at the ripe ol' age of 28 mos. As you can see I got an early dose of high nitro and fast combat planes. The covering is womens head scarfs, I still love poka dots on planes to this day. My plane was tot powered, but probably the loudest one we had. My first REAL flying plane was a Goldberg Shoestring (profile) built by Steve Ragsdale, one of the guys my father flew combat with. It was orange, silk and dope, fully decallled, fox .35 powered. My father used it for balloon bust, I was listed as the planes owner, practically begged him not to crash it. not sure what happened to that one. It is on my shortlist of planes to build, once my finishing skills can do it justice.
