Jon H Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 I think the 'warplane' is a db models old bill, and the blue/yellow model a db mascot trainer. Not sure about the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Harris - Moderator Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Sure it’s an OS20FS? The silencer looks rather large and I don’t remember that many head bolts…. There should be a number cast into the crankcase to identify it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you referring to the engine in the polyhedral winged vintage model ? There's a photo of an OS20FS in the post of 10.36 Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Harris - Moderator Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Yes Pat - and the earlier photos do seem to confirm my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Davis 2 Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 The large vintage model is a Southerner Major. The red and yellow model is a SIG Kadet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way it's staying in place anyway. I'll remove the saito and take more photos. Top knowledge everyone 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Davis Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 I think it's a Southerner Major built off a Ben Buckle plan. https://www.benbucklevintage.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_9&products_id=125. If it is fitted with an OS four-stroke, it must be larger than a 20 because the model has an 84" wingspan and a 20 four-stroke would never fly it..

I have a copy of the original Ben Buckle catalogue, it's definitely not a Southerner Major. As jeff2wings posted it seems to be an enlarged version of the KK Bandit. The wing root LE cut-away & tailplane position on the fuselage fuselage are identity give-aways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks everyone, your help was invaluable and I think I got a fair price for everything. The last remnants of the collection are now on display in the garage. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
