Re: 1/20 scale spruce goose

A friend of mine, Darrell Meyer, built a 1/20th scale model in Orange

CA in the late '70s early 80's. (Pretty sure that was the scale wingspan of 16' I believe...)

He and his brother Merle flew it successfully several times. I thin it was Darrell at the helm and Merle with separate controls for th eight throttles that were required! It was on display with th original Spruce Goose in the Dome next to the Queen Mary in Long Beach CA for a while. I'm not sure where it is today... Eric Russ Tustin, C
