Seen at Indianapolis Meet, Summer of 1966

(1/1)

Serge_Krauss:
Does anyone recognize these planes? Three of us drove down to a contest at the Indianapolis airport during the summer of 1966. The contest wasn't just stunt, because I remember watching some rat racing. My friend, whom I'd started in CL flying, competed with a really crude Nobler, finished in  robin's-egg-blue, Hobby Poxy and sans canopy, but we just watched. I can't remember why I singled out these three planes and took no other pictures. Anyway, I think the Indianapolis club was pretty active at that time, and these were probably built by well-known modelers. Any ideas?

The top one belongs to Jack Sheeks. His AMA was 13985.
All the planes look really well done and quite stylish!
