Here is a copy of the original post from the other site, no hint of wingspan.
Wife dragged me into the antique joint today .. and one thing did get my attention.. there was this old model hanging on the ceiling.. but what got my attention was the retractable landing gear.. The engine would appear to have an old gasoline engine due to the presence of a porciline insulator ,, perhaps dating back to the 30's or 40's sometime.. Checking out some pics... it may be an old 1946 type II hard to tell.. if you look at the one pic you will see what appears to be control line wires coming from the fuselage. this along with the engine and the lack of movable controls on the wings would suggest it is a control line model... predating RC.. but now for the really interesting part.. check the pic of the wings.. and see the bevel gears that operate retractable landing gear.. if this was a control line model with retracts... that would be something interesting to have... but !! someone must be out to lunch ,, as the sticker price was 200.00 and the over all condition was very poor.. but still it was interesting to see...
