Here is my favorite picture at the Carrier site. The plane, one of my 30 + Wildcats I built and sold this year. With it I took 4th place in Sportsman. Last year I gave a .15 size Wildcat to the young fellow in the picture. This year, after according to him.."we flew the paint off the plane you gave us last year" he asked if I had something bigger. He and his dad were given the plane in the picture. Brodak's Carrier event was well run by John Vlna with over 30 some odd entries.
(I wont mention the name, but a very good friend ran over my .15 ship with his car, and dispite a lot of help getting it ready it crashed on takeoff)
Dispite some "doom-sayers" there is a growing interest in Carrier flying. Perhaps not in "State of the Art" competition as many wish for, but in lesser competitive venues, or just plain personal flying enjoyment. Perhaps more on this later under another thread.
