He had a Luscomb (sp?)
It was the first all metal stunt plane ever built.

He had one flying and one in the back yard to rebuild.

He looked at one in an add once that was free, but you had to get it out of the field where it landed...LOL

Glad you like it, I like that one too.

It is acutally appliqued pieces of red fabric and red/white checkered fabric.
Wing was appliqued as a unit then applied as one piece.

Not hard.
