George had a group of four early Veco four bolt head engines; a .29 steel fin, a .29 aluminum fin, a .31 aluminum fin, and a .35 aluminum fin. They are sold as a group only. The money goes to George's widow.

Price: $ 400.00

As a FYI, The steel fin would have been built in the K&B factory. The others are Veco factory or Henry Engineering. The steel fin is very rare. I have good examples of all, but no steel fin.

Gosh,

I really wish that one of you guys would buy these. If you don't I told Charley Bruce that I would put them on the 'bay for him. The money goes to Julie Aldrich.

Why don't you buy them?

I have no claim to fame, I build more planes than I fly, collect more kits than I build. That about says it, right?

I already have more controline stuff that I will ever use. I'm starting to sell some of it off. Ten years ago, I would have bought the Veco engines.

De, knowing some of the crazy prices I have seen paid on the Bay and that this money is going to Mrs. Aldrich would make me list them there immediately. With a reserve you will at least get what you are asking and maybe more. Good luck!

The only crazy price i got on e-bay was the fee.
