Which plane (that you have actually HAD) is/was your favorite Classic model? Not necessarily the best of anything, just your favorite. Details, please! ;D

Probably boring, but, I luv my (profile) Cavalier. It flies in "Profile", "P-40", "Classic", and "P.A." Bobby got me into small engines over 20 years ago with the OS .32 helli engine. :## I've since promoted myself to Randy's TT's and AT .36's. This is a match made in (stunt) heaven!

Bill Simons Shoestring. It flew great and I really liked the paint scheme.

I learned the stunt pattern on a Ruffy. I have one in my possesion that I finished a couple of years ago. CLP** CLP** CLP** CLP** CLP** HB~>

My Cobra was the one that worked for me. In some parts of the country where classic is flown up to 1979,Atlanta and Huntersville next year, my favorite would be the Juno.

Bill We talked about it at the last club meeting but it would be only one event not two flown together.I guess another Juno will need to be built. I flew a Juno in advanced at the 88 nats. I flew the Juno from 1988 till 1992 and several top 20 flyers flew it over the Years and said it was one of the best planes they had ever flown. It had way over 1000 flights on it so I guess it was well trimmed.

Flapped Magician, McCoy 40, 12-6 APC cut to 11" Sig 5% nitro, 25%all castor fuel, 38 oz. This is my second Magician, and they are just a great alround plane. Good for classic, P-40, and PA. Mine are built off of the Midwest plan and are built with no changes. All Sig dope on silkspan, with gold tissue letters and numbers.

Saw Jim's Magician fly at Tulsa a couple of weeks ago. Flys great and sounds like a tractor pulling mountains. Too Cool. y1

As I have said many time, the JD Falcon, is about as good as it gets. I also like the :Jerseyan" it is a great flying airplane, that in many ways was ahead of it's time.
Another of my favorites, that I had, was Ed Elasick's "Impala". might even kit it if Eddie gives me permission, I have located him.
Here are pictures of his 2nd and 3rd "Impala" The #3 airplane was chocolate brown, with white stripes and copper inside the arrows. Unfortunately the only picture I had of his first Impala was ruined, it was chocolate brown with yellow and white trim.

Hi Tom,
Eddie's Impala always has been cool looking to me! A nice blend of somewhat unusual design points, but they fit together very nicely.

My all time favorite is the original Kenhi Panther. Not a great flying airplane, but I really like the looks. The later version as kitted by Midwest was a much better flying airplane, but it lost a little bit of style in the translation to the longer span wing. I've got a couple of the old Kenhi kits so maybe I'll build one just for old times sake. Hmm - a nice place for the Johnson S.
