Alameda Aer-O-Nut's
Annual Musciano Event

On September 7th, 2003, the Alameda Aer-O-Nut Control Line club, hosted our first west coast version of Northern Virginia's famous "Walt Musciano Scientific Model Contest". Qualifying models must be made from a solid carved fuselage and solid sheet wing version of any "Walt Musciano" design which was kitted by the Scientific Model Airplane Co. back in the 50's and early 60's. Also, only low performance period engines makes this event both challenging and fun.

This is now an annual event by the Aer-O-Nut and is one of the largest Musicano contest in the country.

Mike McCarty's Combat Master won the Concourse at this year Musciano 2007
