Another old plane

Some of you may remember the story of my dad and his brothers building these neat little planes. They were so competitive about it, and they kept trying to outdo one another. Eventually they made the planes so big, they wouldn't lift off the ground and fly. Well, when I saw this one, I just had to have it. It looks identical to one my dad built back in the 1960's. The body and wings are made of some kind of fabric or thin canvas and then stretched over a wire frame. Prop on front turns by hand. SOLD!
