Now THAT is too cool! I remember seeing pictures of that years ago in some of the model airplane magazines. I'm sure that has to be the one. Thanks for sharing the pictures with us.

Im pretty sure it ended up hanging in Phil's Hobby Shop over in St.Pete, Dick, I will ask my brother. And yeah, that was the one. The old man and Bill "Doc" McCalley (sp) where best buds - Docs still flying and building at 81 - sadly my dad passed years back.

Dave , my brother Chip is the pilot in the family, he has been flying RC for over 45years- a true master builder, . I flew ONCE when I was about 8 - never forget it. Eckerd Collage in StPete, did one time around with a Sr.Falcon and handed the sticks back- lol . Couldnt stand the thought of wadding Dads plane up- even tho he knew it may happen and lord knows Chip re-kitted plenty along the way- waaaay before trainer radio's.

The old man woulda rolled over in his grave if he knew 15 years ago , I wanted to run RC Boats- I can hear it now-

What the hell do you mean you gonna get everything wet

funny, my dad was primarily an RC model airplane guy as well (early 1960's, and into 1970's and 1980's), that was my influence into this passion (really I love building). But I can remember him also flying a (Merco .61 powered) Sr. Falcon using an Orbit radio system (late 1960's/early 1970's). He was a decent RC pilot, but nothing like your dad above. But somehow, for some reason, I was always drawn to model boats (which really perplexed my dad at first).

I'm very curious which engine model/size your dad used in that multi-engine aircraft?

AWESOME pics Andy!! Your family has MAD modeling skills!! That B-36 would rival todays models, and your Pop did not have the luxury of the technology available today for gather data and making parts for something so complex, which in my mind makes him a TRUE craftsman!!

I'm pretty sure the look on your face when I whacked that F32-7 with my hand down the back of Kaytlins rocket yesterday said it all

However , I DID predict - Kiss that biotch goodbye
