Title: HELP!
Post by: Mike Griffin on January 17, 2016, 09:27:26 PM

If anyone has any photos of "The Equalizer" or "The Jerkline Special", I would appreciate it if you could e mail them to me to use in my Vendors Corner section where I list my kits.  I just don't have any good pictures of them.
My email address is flyingmodelsofamerica@gmail.com

Thank you

Mike

I have plans for the Jerkline Special but no photos.  If you can wait about two months I'll have one finished and will take pictures.   LL~ LL~ LL~

Bill Lived close to me when I was a kid in Kansas City and attended most of our contests there.  I built and flew at least two of the things when I was about 15 years old.  They fly really well with a Fox Blackhead Combat special, like most everything Netzeband designed.  I've seen several Equalizers but never built one.

Doc Holiday might have some He was around then also!

Hey Tony

I appreciate it.  I had these already.  What I was looking for sheer so causal photos of completed models.  Couldn't come up with nothing on a Google search.

Both of which look like something i would build and fly Mr Griffin.... In fact, since Daviny has been flying by herself now, i want her to fly combat! How cute would it be to have a combat match against a 4year old girl... Lol

I have both hanging in the shop.  The Jerkline Special I cobbled a single wheel gear leg so I could fly with the stooge.  Need to put a good tank on it as the 4 ounce plastic tank is not consistent upright to inverted.   First flights were with out rudder as I knocked it off on first flight.   Second flight the plane didn't know the rudder was gone.   Built using Barry Baxter plans.   The Equalizer is waiting on me to fabricate a gear for it like I did the Sweet Sweep.  Maybe will get pictures tomorrow,  depends on my ear doctor.

Hope this helps Mike.    The red one is the Jerkline Special.  The Equalizer is the Umland kit if I remember right.  The pics of the Sweet Sweep, another Umland kit, is to show how I put single wheel gear on it.
