Picking out and prepping some models for this Friday's "Black Fly-Day" at Breezy Hill!

Most of you guys already know about the history of Mr. Musciano and Scientific Models, but thought I'd go ahead and copy this from my Facebook page on the chance that there might be some members that might like it, and maybe serve as a flashback for others!
==================================================

Getting Ready for Breezy Hill's "Black Fly-Day" !!!

I'm going to try (weather permitting) to put the first flight on a beautiful Scientific Models "Kingpin", built and presented to me by Breezy Hill Flyer Billy Lang.

Scientific Models marketed an extensive line of easy-to-build balsa models through the 1950-1970's, most designed by one of my heroes, Mr. Walt Musciano. Some were very simple, with a slab of balsa sheet for a wing, while others, like Kingpin, had a "built-up" wing with ribs and covering much like larger models.

These small control line airplanes gave kids a chance at their first builds, many using engines from the plastic ready-to-fly models they got as Christmas presents.

Hopefully, the winds will be light enough for me to put the first flight on Billy's little creation!
