[WWI] Comet Jenny

[Douglas Anderson]

That is so typical. I know of others with similar tales of woe. One of the best model builders I know had this superb diorama of a boat yard set in 18th century England. It sat in a museum's storage area for years. Another buyilder offered to clean and restore it and that was the last it was ever seen

A friend of mine had one of those, probably 20 or more years ago, with a CO2 motor in it, it was a beautiful model!  I don't think he ever worked up the nerve to fly it.

Later, it ended up hanging from a hobby shop ceiling, and became quite dry and brittle.  I ended up with it for a few years, then let another guy in the club have it to do some restoration work on it, and it hasn't been seen since.

Yes, just to make some of you envious, just managed, this very morning, to 

acquire for myself a Comet Curtiss Jenny in pristine condition. Being going 

through the archives, not many pics of Free Flight Models.
