I know that MFW types like a good mystery! OK. we may need Mycroft Holmes (RN Retd.) for this one: I have owned the battered boat In the pix since a round 1970. I was given to me so that I could try out my Waltron MinI 1+1 propo radio, before committing It to a Keil Kraft Outlaw Mk II radio 'plane. Over the years I have lost the cabin top, which was a simple elegant curve. I bought the motor for It - which I still have - a Taycol Meteor. For years I have scoured old mags and plans lists but can't find It. The ruler In shot Is a standard 12" job, so she's not a particularly small boat. The Meteor used to drive her at low displacement speeds. I will restore her one winter, but the day job keeps getting In the way (I am a professional aeromodeller / scribbler).
Any thoughts gratefully received!
