  Hey Ty;
  Several years ago, there was an article in Model Aviation about Cleveland Models and at that time, Ed Packard still owned and ran the business and it was still in the same location in Cleveland. he still had the same gals that worked in the office for him, and there were several photos of hims standing in front of the pigeon hole shelfs where the balsa parts were stored for kit production, and they still had wood in them!  I wonder what happened to all of that? I have several Cleveland kits and plans and some loose print wood. i forget where the new owner moved it too, but supposedly still sells all the plans that they ever did. And every now and then, he advertises in Air Classics magazine.
  Type at you later,

High gumbandery is alive and well in the Royal Oak Cloudbusters.  While mostly vol libre, they tolerate a limited amount of circulare and telecommando.

They fly every Thursday in the Pontiac Soccer Dome.
