Hello all,
I build small scale flying models, usually rubber powered. At the moment I'm particularly interested in this Callair A9, registered VH-MPG. In the 1980s it was used as an ad banner tower and was in this wacky "Red Baron" paint scheme. I've found four photos of it on the internet but am really just wondering if anyone knows of any more, as I have no views of the top of the left wing or the underside of the right, so don't yet have quite enough info to make the model.
Thanks in advance!
Pete

Pete, try a post in the "The Pacific: General Aviation & Questions" forum. May even get someone who flew it.
