  I posted this on the MACA facebook page as well. facebook is so fleeting that it's gone in a New York minute.
  I had purchased a Nelson when Henry did the last run in the hopes to fly fast someday. Well when you start flying Combat in your mid 50's it takes awhile(maybe never) to learn. Anyway, I wantef to do a play on my all time favorite the Super Satan. So, I set out to design a plane that was more modern but kept the overall look and design characteristics of the original version 12 that was featured in the magazine. Version 1 to Larry's recollection was designed it late 64. I have a straight wing version 3 that is dated February '65. Anyway, my basic thought was, if Larry designed it today!
I showed the plane to Larry yesterday and he was extremely excited to see it. I had coined it version 2021. He said no thats version 19 as he had made 18 previous versions. I'm pleased and grateful that Larry was so excited.

Looks BAD ASS..!
Love the "built up" booms.
It's always amazing to see a bag full of balsa sticks able to withstand 120MPH and all those G forces...!

I spent some time with Larry this past Monday and played the video of Tom’s Super Satan turning and burning from this year at Brodak. Larry was impressed with all the maneuvering and sound of the screaming Nelson in song. It was nice to see Larry’s expression, he lit up like he was 15years old.
