Toy F-86f Sabre

[Jim Finn]

I have not made toys in a long while, but I just made nine of these for our woodworking club.  We give toys to children's hospitals and The Salvation Army.   Our club made and gave away over six thousand toys this year (2013).  Mostly carsThese toy airplanes are for next year.  I used, as a pattern, plans for this aircraft that I downloaded from the Internet.  I was an aircraft mechanic in the 60's in the USAF and worked on these airplanes.  F86's were used against MIG-15's in the Korean war.  The ones I worked on in 1962-4 were made in 1951-2.  This model is 8" long and 8" wingspan and made of a 2"x4" (fir)
