Since I moved to CA in 1965 I always wanted to try to duplicate George Lieb's Cirus design eaxactly like the one I sold to Shultzie when I left. I figured I had most of the design figured out from memory, talking to George, and the one picture I built of one while in Viet Nam. The problem was finding a good old Torp 45 greenhead.
Well in the last two weeks i was able to score an RC version that is in pretty good shape for $28.00 but will have to go to Scott for a venturi and an almost new CL version for $48.00. I even have an old 11x4 Top Flite prop and a 10x6 Grish 3 blade to go with it. All I have to do is is get the other projects out of the way and get to the drawing board. Now if it will just fly as good as the original. I was wondering if it would qualify for Classic as I was told Smotzie ( Shulzie) won a couple of contests with it after I left. Hope there might be some pictures around to verify it. If nothing else, when I get it built, I'll have to sneek up to WA and drag Smotzie out for a few go rounds for old time sake. ANyway, sometimes the BAY can be a good thing as Martha would say.
Happy Landings!!
