Title: Nostalgia Combat Plane Festival!! GSCB & MM
Post by: C.T. Schaefer on February 13, 2014, 08:20:52 AM: Nostalgia Combat - September 7, 2014 at the Garden State Circle Burners field in Lincoln Park, N.J. $5 admission, BYO eats & Drinks.
Get your old Voodoos, Giant Killers, Half Fast, Wow's or whatever and bring them out to fly or just show. Other than the usual AMA safety rules there are none! Matches will neither be encouraged or discouraged. The main idea is to see and hear the old junk fly!

We will have a special award for the fastest loop scavenged Fox engine, Presented by LS hisself.

Any questions: Tom Schaefer earthingbrush2@yahoo.com or Tom Hampshire th31919@gmail.com

I've been a combat competitor since 1960 and have numerous combat planes (AMA, slow, and FAI) that have been caught on the wrong side of the frequent rules changes.

An old combat fly in is a great idea, and if streamers are tied on and some two-up sport flying happens so much the better.

See you there!

Do you mean cross flow engine? Loop scavenged is schnuerle porting (2 sides and a boost port).

Post by: C.T. Schaefer on August 04, 2014, 02:45:30 PM: To Walt and all, I meant to say a baffle piston Fox. ie. 36X or 36XBB. Last year we were in the mid teens. I am working on the Special Award right now.

Post by: Tom Luciano on September 13, 2014, 06:19:25 AM: Larry didn't have the right fuel to fly his nostalgia plane so he got a pass to fly a current f2d plane. At 81 years young he can still get it done. As someone mentioned 50 years goes away when he gets in the center of the circle. I can only hope I can do it at that age.

Enjoy!
