Thanks !
I have taken at least two dozen flights on a Beach 18 and never noticed the difference either. I learned something and that's a good thing, thanks. I have been building an airplane model with my 3 1/2 year old grandson and he has learned the words aileron, fuselage, empenage, diheadral, and anheadral. And now I have a new one for him. The model 10 Electra is a faforite of mine and I'm still working on a 1/8 scale model with two of the Williams Brothers 1/8 scale engines. It will be all plastic, other than the tires, and will be Electra Model 10E NR16020. I was thinking foil, but I like what you did with your natural metal finish. Thats a good looking model.
Bobstamp"Stablets"! Cool word! And I thank you for providing that useful clue in telling the difference between the Electra and the Twin Beech. I'd never noticed the stablets before.
I wish I could take credit for it!
It's my understanding that -- back in the time long before 'winglets' were a thing -- the term was coined by Northrop engineers to describe one of the '30s art deco a/c designs that were so prevalent in that day.
Never really thought about it...but it is kinda cool!

George Lewis:
gregbale I'm guessing it's the Lockheed, since it's got 'stablets' outside the fins.

On the bench: A diorama to illustrate the crash of a Beech T-34B Mentor which I survived in 1962 (I'm using Minicraft's 1/48 model of the Mentor), and a Pegasus model of the submarine Nautilus of 20,000 Leagues Under the Seas fame.
Looks pretty good!

No it just seems like a good place to take outdoor photos!
So did some kindly neighborhood squirrel rock by and deposit an anonymous built model on your grill?
Thanks!
