Sure wish we could have films like this restored. Model aviation is very much a part of American history. It really should be preserved.

I actually enjoy the home made quality of this. The film flicker is very nostalgic for me. Along with saving the old films, some thoughts to newer promotional videos is important.

What a cool vid. Shows how little time invested in helping a child can influence their future.
Thanks for sharing, it warmed the heart, even if it was an old film.

Glad you enjoyed it!

That looks like a Scientific Sky Master that is being build around the 8 minute mark.

I hoped that these kits would be identified.
