We will be flying nostalgia 30 at the 2010 King Orange Int. Classic will be combined in the same circle on Saturday. By then the list of airplanes should be listed.
Thanks Tom Weedman AMA 63672

I may still have a JUNO around somewhere. It may be a my son inlaws in Florida. It is the very old one I flew at the 1988 Nats.

Hi Jim
Yes it is basically a SIG Super Chipmunk, a Good flying plane by the way

I mentioned I had a old Juno I had stored in Florida. I made a mistake and it is not the Juno from the 1988 Nat's. It is one I built in 1980 and it is in good shape. Here are some pictures of my versions of the Juno,none are stock. The yellow silk one I flew at the 88 NATS.The red one was built in 1985 and the last flight on it was by Gene Martine,ask Gene what happened. The uncovered frame is the 1980 version and it's outboard wing broke off at the gear location on it's 5th or 6th flight.I hit my toolbox. I gave it to my grandson and he still has it. I duplicated this plane a few years ago and sold it at Brodak. As you can see the only plane that really looks like a Juno is the 1985 red plane.That plane had even wingspan and it didn't work as well as a stock wing. The Yellow one was flown at the 88 Nat's and has a larger stab-elevator, totally different rudder and gear in the body not wing mounted. The 1980 model has the Ares type rudder and GEO style ribs with the gear in the wing and larger stab elevator. The 1980 model was built with out plans. A friend Dave Merrithew took pictures and all the dimensions from Bill's plane and I built it from that information. That is why the stab is bigger. Wing tips are different also.My grandson says is doesn't say Juno on the wing it says "Comet" I will have the plane in a few weeks and if it is worth repairing I will do it. I never built a stock Juno. In the the video where Bill gets all his old planes out there are several planes called Juno besides the ST/46 version.

Ty I have no information on the kit. I did hear it has flat sheet flaps not the built up ones.The fat built up flaps eat up power.I do not think they add anything to the performance.They are stiff and will not twist and that may help in the wind? H^^

I've always liked the Juno, and we got the original article. Too many planes I would like to build.

Ty, to your #9(?)
Billy W explained his bulgy flaps in a article within the past 5-7 years, possibly an update on his Juno in FM, or Junar??
He considered them when they pull max deflection. The "upper" surface (in the direction lift is being pulled) fairs better to the airfoil than a flat-squared flap, or a to-a-point tapered flap. It was deliberate, and (for him anyway) it worked. Or so he believed, and with his results, who's to argue?
(How many times over the years have you caught me saying that precise scientific accuracy isn't what counts, but belief by the flier IS?)

HI Ed. I have a kit of the Juno, but don't know who kitted it. Have you any info on it? I think it was kitted by a gent in Florida. The label appears to be a reproduction of the article, which is also in the kit, the plans are more like blue prints but are the same as the FM plans. D>K
Hello Ty, I believe that was Bill LaRue of Classic Air Models in Fruitland Park,Fl. He produced a very nice kit of the Neptune that I always wanted to get. :)

Ty & Lou Billy built a USA/1 with the built up flaps. He shows it in his video. He didn't care for it but he was powering it with a ST/46, I think. Maybe a pipe motor would pull it.
