Balsawood Planes
Part of growing up in the Burg back in the day was Balsawood
Planes. I got them from Marsh Hobby Shop on South Broad
Street and at Campi's.
A Blog about the Chambersburg area of Trenton NJ. The Burg we all loved and miss. If you were from the Burg I hope many of the pictures and lists and comments under them from good folks bring back some nice memories. Villa Park, Franklin Park, South Trenton, and nearby Hamilton also mentioned. Use the search box atop the blog to find schools,churches,streets,stores,bars etc that you remember. Over 4000 posts and 3000 pics. Enjoy:)

Mack: One of the greatest hobby toys made, I had those and the ones with the rubber bands.
Hi JoeZ :)
YES! They had rubber bands and would fly a little:)
And the little metal clip on the nose? You could adjust it and between that and the horizontal stabilizer, you could get a good loop going. With a little tab of Scotch tape on a wing you could try to get it to roll but that usually just ended up in splintered disaster.
