Watching the kid build the model Stinson SR-7 Reliant took me back to how I got started building model planes around 1949, and "hooked" on iconic gull winged Stinson Reliants. I built the exact same kit , and a string of others by Berkeley, Sterling, latest was a Pat Tritle/Brodak SR-10 that I bashed into an SR-7 and decorated as the 1937 Pepsi-Cola corporate PR version. Still have the Park Zone foamy SR-10 in good flying condition. Plans for the simple 54" wingspan Comet Aeronca Chief, Aeronca "K" model and Taylorcraft are available on Outerzone.
This is pretty informative and funny: COMET shows the Earth rotating in the wrong direction! This isn't the 1st time I've seen the Earth's rotation shown going the wrong direction! Many other documentaries have been wrong, also.
Does anyone know a way to contact Nancy? I found a sign buried in my yard and I am trying to find out more about it. I’m wondering if it was this companies sign.
Just great, thanks .

I met Carl Goldberg at the 1981 Nats.
Thank you for this wonderful presentation
Comet wind tunnel? I'd like to see that.
Excellent film! I love Comet plans.

Just swell !!
Thanks Nancy, it brought back many memories of building many comet kits. I never knew the history of the company, how about a comet museum?
Great video, i have loved Comet kits since i was a kid.
Wow, this is an amazing video!!!
