Title: Young Stunt Grunt with new Corsair
Post by: Leo Mehl on October 18, 2007, 09:40:12 PM

This is Pat Johnstons new Corsair. Built and designed by him. It is powered by the eve popular OSLA 46. and has no flaps. Does good pattern and above all looks really good. Great looking warbird by a really nice guy. Pat lives near Boise Idaho and does a lot of Auto-Cad drawing for different manufacturers. I think this is one guy Shultzie does not know.

Anybody that has been around stunt for any length of time should know "Pat Johnston".  A terrific guy that designs and builds planes bigger than he is.  Meeting him in person was an eye opener on the quality of his aircraft.  He is also a very fine gentleman.  Have fun,  DOC Holliday

This could be a killer in the right hands. The plane is a stable platform. Pats first flight he pulls off a 5 foot reverse wingover! Plane is so kewl..... y1

I first met Pat in 1970 at a free flight contest in Idaho. Even then his planes, FF scale, were impecable. Always a smile and just an allround great guy. Generous too.  And he ain't that short. I can look him in the eye without bending down.  LL~

Well, Ty, it's true that just about everyone is "old" when compared to Brother Leo!

As to Pat and you being short.. naw.  Y'all are just verty vertcally challenged. y1

Love ya, guy, and you STILL owe me dinner! **) **) **) **)
