A while back we were discussing the Formula S and that there were some slight errors on the published plans. I mentioned a set I had (which I had lost) that Jim had "corrected", and Bob Hunt stepped up to check and see if it would be alright to copy and sell the "corrected plans". Bob has permission and I have already received my "new set". You can contact him through the Vendors Corner section under Robin's View Productions to get yours!
Anything Jim had at home when he passed away was placed on a bonfire in the backyard and was destroyed soon after his passing. Make your own plans for the dispersal of your hobby items.Allen Brickhaus
Allen,Is that the original Tucker Special to the left of the Formula S in the picture? Jim Pollock P.S. About families hating time away from them spent on modeling. That's something that happens all to oftenand even creates undue tensions in some families. I have talked with Art Sr several times and he and a couple of the St. Louis guys were building them at the some time trying different things, but they do go back to the day (before I was around). The reason I picked the Formula S was because I see it everytime we go up and it was flown at the Nats the year I was born. It still looks pretty sharp.James

Absolutely hated that models took away from family time.Simple but true.Allen Brickhaus
One other small thing.Tom McClain had Jim's light Blue Talon at the NVCL field back in 2004 when I was still up there. I flew it a couple oftimes. First flight was too rich and I didn't notice much, second flight was O.K. but I can't say that the airplane felt especially great on the lines to me. I guess, I've become accustomed to heavier pull flying planes with .51's and .61's.Jim Pollock
