Spring Kickoff is Sat-Sun, so made and inspection cruise with the deck today. Decided to get the air wing up on the flight deck, and shoot some pix. I was actually out there scrubbing the deck to get rid of some insect nest residue. I never had to swab the deck when I was in the Navy for real ... ;)
Anyway, we are set to fly this coming weekend - if you are in range, try to join us.

A few more pix - this year's new models. A Class 1 MO-1 w/ a Picco .40, and a Class 2 with a Fox .46 ABC.
Both have Bill B's new style of slider and release. Both weigh right at 43 ounces ( I really like those under 70 lb. pull tests).

A couple of other shots -- Hope to get models test flown this week so that I can enter them this weekend.

Mike, nice job on the MO-1s

Nice job Mike, hope to see it this weekend. But isn't 97117 Wilk's AMA number?

Yeah - he talked me into hauling a couple of his planes home from 'Junque Night' in Chicago a couple years ago. There was a nice flying Profile that I built a new version of - then passed on to a newbie (the copy I built is the Hellcat in the middle of the pack above). This Skyray is either a club Carrier trainer or I'll give it to the same newbie. There was also a biplane that I've not yet done much with. It was $5 well spent.

Mike, I may be mistaken, but the smallish plane with yellow stripes on wing tips and almost all blue plane may be the only picture available of one of my "Penguin" profiles I made 4 years ago. They were made as basic Carrier trainers with removeable wings. Am I wrong?

No - the Penguin trainer was acquired from you by one of our club members (Curt Netcott). He donated it to the club, another guy donated an engine (Fox .15 Schn/BB), and I donated the building/covering, lines and handle etc. It is one of our club Carrier trainers. I don't know if you originally donated it to him or how he actually acquired it - but in any case thanks. It actually could be made to fly pretty well.

Wish I could make it. Maybe next year. I hope everyone has a good time.
