| ftomstark | Comet Boeing P-26 | Parked | 01-Nov-12 16:27 |  | | Views : 1112 | | It had rather clean lines. My model has the fuselage stretched some since it was originally a rubber powered model and was not intended for scale competition. |
| ftomstark | Comet Boeing P-26 | Parked | 01-Nov-12 16:24 |  | | Views : 1334 | | It would have probably been a very successful fighter but it was made a two place and that never worked out. |

| ftomstark | Comet Boeing P-26 | Parked | 01-Nov-12 16:14 |  | | Views : 1092 | | This is an original P-30. There was a free flight event called P30. I decided to build a semi scale P-30 model for that event so I would have a P-30 P30. It wa srubber powered and flew pretty well, consistently just under 60 seconds. With the advent of electric power and really small radio equipment I converted it to RC. I flew it a while and eventually crashed just about breaking the fuselage in half. This is the wreckage with some repairs. |

| ftomstark | SIG Monocoupe | Parked | 11-Jul-12 13:00 |  | | Views : 1057 | | The models were build from Cleveland plans. The structure was largely plywood with ribs and stringers added so that the fabric covering looked real. They weighed about 15 pounds. My son now is in charge of the Boeing office in South Korea building f 15s for the Saudis and Koreans. |
