Thread: Of all the things my mom could have kept for me....

This Thimble Drome model airplane, complete with fuel, wires, instructions, box, engine and no propeller was found in storage, where we had bulk moved the contents of my mom & dad's house, when she went into senior housing. It was part of a lot that was boxed, put on pallets and stored in the warehouse of my brother's electrical business. He's getting ready to sell out to his son and another partner and retire, so he decided we needed to sort through the stuff.

Wow, it was all I wanted for Christmas in about 1960. Times being what they were my brother and I were afraid to smash it up flying it, so we pooled our cash and bought a cheap, break-away model to learn on. It turned out to be a broke-up model, so the Flying Tiger was started, but never flown . So where's the propeller?!?

Anyway, although nothing to do with anything on SRP, it brought back funny memories of a time and place long ago!
