2 Vintage Balsa Wood U-Control Model Airplane kits 1-2A and 1/4A sizes. Condition is Used. Shipped with USPS Priority Mail. These are kits of two of my favorite airplanes. Mr. Mulligan was a super race plane built by the genius Benny Howard. Mr. Mulligan won both the Bendix and Thompson trophies in 1935. Mr Mulligan was the last of Howard's race planes and was identified as the DGA 6 since it was his 6th design. The DGA stood for" Damned Good Airplane" and it wa...s. It was the basis for a series of single engine cabin airplanes that were used by the military as well as civilian executives and private operators. Ah, The Champ! I personally have re-built Champs and have enjoyed flying them very much they are such a delight, the oleo landing gear struts lets you down softly onto the grass like sitting down in an over stuffed chair. These models were produced when every company was trying to out "pre-fab" each other. They are certainly not good scale models but are quite representative of their types and would be easy for young boys to build and would certainly stir the imagination in flight. The box art is sure appealing.
