Did someone video me making the first test flight on my Cox 020 powered Barnstormer on 20 ft lines?

Crazy combat fliers!

I know
Just jealous for not thinking of it first!


Clancy
I can picture that in my mind!

I built a .010 miniature Stunt Man 23 looking thing and flew it on 20ft heavy thread,
 was very similar to the Video including maneuvers. Guaranteed dizziness.
Run time on the smallest Perfect wedge tank is 10 times to long!

Have an RC friend, who flew CL years ago.  He started flying some Half A with me.  The one day we were out and he forgot his lines.  This was about his third time out.  I gave him a spare set.  Turned out they were about 20 ft. instead of 35 ft.  He got so dizzy in 2 min. that he was sick for a day, but he never got dizzy after that!

If you want to have a blast and have a cox .020 or similar engine handy build a Queen Bee by Latty Scranzzi. 
11.5 inch span biplane.  I can send the scans of the magazine article.

send me an email tawilk636@live.com and ask for the Queen Bee.
