Houlberg 1939 Monocoque Streamliner
This is another original, restored model. The fuselage is covered in 1/32 inch balsa. The model still flys beautifully.
Olympia Hydroplane of 1914
No information found for this model.
Houlberg 1913 'T'-Frame Pusher
This is one of the oldest ORIGINAL models that I have. As you can see, the silk covering is in a very poor state of repair but I have elected to leave it as it is for the sake of originality
