Comments left:	These were my first successful model airplane "endeavors" as a kid, and became even more exciting when I discovered that I could buy rubber strands during the rare visits to a hobby store. The Streak also gave me my first experience at actually repairing a model airplane: After many flights, the wingroot edge would become frayed and floppy in the jaws of the little plastic clip, letting the wing fold upward in flight. A fellow kid pilot showed I could just cut the damaged edge away with scissors, giving the wing mount fresh balsa to grab, and off we'd go. What'd be called a "DUH" moment now, but a kid's got to start somewhere! And yes...we DID figure out it was a good idea to trim BOTH wing roots to get it to fly properly!
