Long's Hobby Supply

Found the remains of a rubber-stamped envelope tonight with this on the back. Neat look back into history.

Built in 1957, here's radio control plane #6. An original design by Roy Long, Jr. Powered by an OK "Cub" twin-cylinder gasoline engine and controlled via a "Citizen Ship" transmitter and receiver. In the eighties the engine was updated to an OS 90 four-cycle gasoline engine and the radio to a solid-state Kraft system. This in-flight photo was taken in 1983 just before landing. Today the plane still looks almost identical to this photo, and it is the oldest surviving plane from a fleet of 40 r/c planes built by my father.

The Babcock "Breezy Sr" model airplane. This model was built in 1959, and was the 11th radio control plane built Roy Long, Jr. Photo taken in July of 1966.

Original film from the 1940's.
