In 1987, I got a finished .40-size Top Flite Contender from DePratt Watson in the Wilson RC Modelers Association (WRCMA). He had beautifully finished it, but had never flown it. I added an few stripes to the wing and tail, installed a Futaba 4ch AM radio on 72 mhz ch 12, and dropped in a Rossi .61 with a tuned pipe. Wow, this was a rocket ship!!!! I had so much fun with this, and finally lost it due to a servo failure around 1991. I'm searching for pics... these are not of my airplane, but gives you an idea of the look.
