The subject of Walt and Bill Good came up when some of my club members were looking at the planes in my hangar and noticed my Royal Rudderbug. My first R/C plane was a Berkeley Royal Rudderbug which I built in 1954 while still in high school. It was recommended by my local hobby shop in Al-lentown, PA and I bought the kit for $6.95. The plane now hanging in my hangar is a replica of that plane which I built from the Berkeley kit plans. I was able to locate a color slide that my dad had taken of my original Royal Rudderbug and so I painted my replica in the same orange and insignia color scheme. Of course the replica was covered with silk and dope as the original. My replica flies with a Veco .19 with a throttle while the original was powered by a Webra diesel .15 with no throttle.
