This is what is called an Old Timer. It's a Deweyville Special kitted by Orline back in the 60's or 70's. This isn't a scale model, it's just a kit designed for RC flying. It sports a parasol type wing. This one is boring to most modern RC enthusiasts, but this is my kind of plane........it's big and slow. (I'm and Old Timer too!!!)
If you ever look at the plane pictures in an RC Airplane Magazine, usually the bigger the plane, the older the guy standing next to it.
I didn't build this one. I found it at an RC swap meet in Kalamazoo, so I guess you could call it a recycled plane. If it survives the (my) maiden flight with it, I will enjoy many, many hours of flying this one. The best time is when the winds are low early in the morning just after sunrise, or just before dusk.
Wing Span is 74". Engine is an OS FL70 Four-stroke glow engine.
