n5106n was based at columbus metro airport back in the early 1970s. i used to wash it to earn flight time. i have photos of it when it was red with yellow stripes,and a b/w photo when it was white with red stripes. at one time it was used in a sausage commercial,hence the red and yellow repaint.
it was ground looped by a lady during the mid 70s.it was sold to someone in california.she was great fun to fly on those late summer days. i have to admit she looks better now than she did then.!!!! (:
i also built a large sterling r/c model of this plane that is still hanging in hanger 8E at CSG.
