In the spirit of getting things moving again, Here is the short tale of a Wyandotte Sirius with two bolts...
I found this toy airplane at the Allegan Antique show in Michigan a few years back. It was almost complete and already having one, I noticed that it had panted landing gear and that was attached using a thumbscrew. Usually the gear was simply attached using the wing attachment foldover tabs. And, there were two sets of thumbscrews. Why two? The dealer said that there were some prototypes made with an interchangeable wheel landing gear and pontoon landing gear and this was one of those from that lot. Cool! It sat for a few years as I scoured whatever resources to find any references. Nothing came to pass so I went ahead and did my best guess and made this Charles Lindbergh's orange and black Sirius that he and his wife, Anne, flew around the Pacific in the early 1930's. The added solid plexi canopy was my only embellishment to what amounts to a hypothetical toy design from 1936.
