[Milsurplus] re Curtis A-12 Aircraft

[jcoward5452 at aol.com]

When I was a kid I used to buy all the model aircraft mags and America's Hobby Center, 146 W 22nd St.,  NYC,NY usually had a two page add at the front of all the mags and I lusted after the control line model Shrike and also the Auto-Gyro.I actually went there once but went home with the Royal Rudderbug, a giant single channel, high wing, cabin design for the early tube type R/C. I built the airframe but my Brother David finished it and flew it.Had a McCoy .35 engine...I miss those halcion days of glue and dope !(and early electronics!).

 Just to clarify the aircraft type: is this the airplane known as the "Shrike" 
 Single engine,monoplane,two place separate cockpits: there was a radial engine 
ersion (A-10 ?) and an inline engine version (A-12 ?) or...? Do any exist 
oday?
While it's the other way around (The A-10 was the inline version),
hat's the bird, huge pants and all.  I don't believe any exist today
hich is sad.
