craigslist find....
« on: July 01, 2012, 03:52:39 PM »
I found these over the weekend on Craigslist in southern cal. Got them both for $50. one is an original? Ringmaster with an OS max FP 35 that still runs strong. The plane just needs a little TLC (Sanded and re painted). The other one im not sure what it is and it has a Fox 35 on it. It needs a little more work it has a pretty bad warp to the outside wing about the last 6-7 inches of it. What would be the best way to try and get the warp out?
Thanks guys!

Nice score!

If the wings were covered with an iron on covering I would simply try back-twisting the wing and reshrinking the covering (both sides!) until the wing is flat.

Yea what Dennis says. I had the same problem with a Flite Streak and the heat gun got it out.

That plane in the rear looks like a Veco Papoose.

Yes,  the back plane could be a Papoose, Brave or Warrior.  As I recall, one of them didn't have flaps - I think the Warrior ???

Hmmmmmmm,
You say these were from southern California?

I think Antone built those airplanes.
