Where are you? Linn & BiLL Lyons
Posted: Fri Jan 04, 2019 2:36 pmI studied Hight School in U.S.A. and living in Columbus OH or in Madisson WI (each year was a different location), I remember the Model Airplane Stores. I started to visit them jn México city as a fanatic aircraft modeler, starting at 13 years old with plastic models from Revell, Monogram & the LiNDBERG line. I did not favor 1/72 scale, too much small for me (& lots of "flash" for the size). One grows older and one fortunate day, start noticing that aircraft ARE MEANT to FLY, their shape (& beauty) being a function of MOTiON through our atmosphere, their wing being inherited from bats & birds. Starting with rubber power & a few aircraft gone with the wind, until reaching Cox model engines & Control Line system. With time I reached Fox .35 motors, more versatile at México city's altitude but very very rough on the fingers. Exactly like Lynn & Bill Lyons give atmosphere to their programs. The hangar is a replica of those Model Airplane Stores in the 50's & 60's (not only in U.S.A. but also in México), same models hanging from the roof, the same wood & glass furniture full with plastic models, layers of balsa wood, goodies galore...
