During the mid/late fifties (years, not age) I flew mostly .15 size planes. I remember standing my LHS (Joyner's Bicycle Shop, Lexington, KY) trying to decide between a Ringmaster Jr. @ $1.50, and a Flite Streak Jr. @ $1.95. That was a big difference to a kid in his teens. Walked away with my first Flite Streak Jr. kit.
Those were the days. Sighhh...
