Great Planes Spirit 2m
- I built this plane in 1996 and flew it until 1997 when
it was accidentally shot down due to a frequency
conflict. For an all wood built-up kit, I thought it was
a great plane.
Alcyone 2m - My
aileron transition plane. I had nearly 200 flights on it
including several LSF Level III tasks before I finally
did it in on a violent zoom launch in early 1998. I am
now flying a 100" modified Alcyone.
T-Tailed Goldberg Electra - Built
in 1990. Flew pretty well, but the plane was always a
little underpowered and heavy. I don't know what I was
thinking when I put florescent pink on the leading edge
-- it looked terrible!
DAW TG3 - Quick and
dirty foamie trainer from Dave's Aircraft Works that I
built for my daughter. My TG-3 came out a bit heavy, but
it is nearly indestructable. We've done many golden
arches into the ground with it and had only incidental
damage.
Gordon Jennings - Taken
just moments after he won a spot on the US F3B team for
the 1997 World Championships. US team selection finals
were held Labor Day weekend, 1996, in Albuquerque, NM.
Aquila - 100",
48 oz wonder made famous by Skip Miller in 1976. Now a
nostalgia legal plane. This particular model was my
competition plane from 1979-1982. Though now considered a
"gasbag", the Aquila was a great flier.
