Wow ... thanks for the link to the registry.

I found my grandfather's Fairchild on the registry, and there's a kit available. It should convert to electric power fairly easily with the radios from the Park Zone line of products and would be a perfect slow flyer for flying in the hangar.

Is that ever neat.

Also a slight correction ... that town name would be Beachville ... just east of Centreville, and west of Woodstock on the old number 2 highway.

Thanks for the information, but this is what I found already.
I hoped for more detailed information.
Sinclair writes is CASH Summer 1977, that Harding crashed the aero plane in 1927 and Brailey in CASH Spring 1999 in 1927.
I think I was 1927, but now something more official??????

Who is interrested in crashes and can help me?
