Due to the glitch the original post was lost.

Looking for 3 view drawing of a F4F Wild Cat. This is going to be the flagship racing model for the young marines Bull Dog racing program. If you guys have not thought about volunteering or helping out with this youth group in your area. You are missing a great chance to keep Control line aviation alive. After working with about a dozen of these youths on three different weekends. I can tell you that they are motivated and are different from most kids today, plus have a high interest in Model Aviation.

Scott,

Here is a link to a URL with a small 3 view.  Further down the page is a nice side view.

The Young Marines are a great source of new pilots for control line.  We will be writing a full-length article for the first issue of John Brodak's new magazine, as well as article in the Young Marine magazine Espirit and one other model magazine.  If you would like more information, just let me know.

Hi Tim,

The other model magazine I believe you are referring to is the Torque Roll published by the NCLRA. I have started the script and compiling pictures for this article which will appear in the October issue. After the article is published I will print an excerpt from the article on this forum.
For more information about the control line aviation program for the young marines please contact
