Carrier at Tucson contest. ...pretty good
« on: September 22, 2012, 05:55:40 PM »
Decent turnout as Burt Brokaw does a nice job.  They have stunt going on also and seemed like just as many entered #wise. Sold my purdy class 1 Skyraider w/ new ST .40RV abc.  Good guy got it and he seemed real happy. Plane was a beauty. Friend came done from up north and guess what? Bought several kits from him plus a Built Class 2 Mauler !! Early Sterling C-9 kit of Corsair/ Sky Shark from Sterling with extra partial kit. Last a neat Japanease .15-.19 full body Zero kit.  Its a scale kit but pleany of room for three line or u-tronics. I just wanted the Corsair and may sell the rest. Got kind of warm at contest but not to bad. Wind was no missue and some real good flying. All were having good flights foir most part. No carnage or big wrecks. The Class 2 plane I bought the whole top comes off easy access to inards.  From cowl to just before rudder. Plane needs new paint but doesn't look beat up. Big plus as plane looks like it never was damaged from crash.

RESULTS?  Also, sounds like you really had a great time. Did you fly your Wildcat?

Joe,
I did not enter contest, maybe I will in Jan . for N/W Regionals. No results as contest concludes today. Two day event. Funny I sold my Class 1 Shyraider and bought a Class 2 Skyraider !! This has many more operational items on it. Plane has some scrarches but all superficial and will fix that. Plus I got Sterling C-9 Corsair/ plus Sterling Sky Shark.  The gravy was finding a full body kit of Jap Zero. Kit looks great with good wood/plans etc.

I had chance to take the Class 2 Skyraider apart. Looks like low time bird and insides look excellent. HAS FLAPS AND KICK UP ALIERON. hOOK/ tHRODDLE AND WORKS VERY SMOOTHLY. Tank looks very good and should be a good flyer. Also has slider. I have paint and its compatable and same color Corsair blue. I may also get two more Kayeff kits. 34" windspan Japan of Skyraider/ and ME -109. ME 109 is legal as German's did have a Carrier/ converted Italian ocean linner. They did take off and land on this Carrier, don't know if it seen any action ??
