Dave and Windy the first composite planes. Anyone doing it before this?
Looks like these were before Sharks were a thing. 🤓

1990 for me. Gave me a great appreciation for balsa.

  I think Jose Modesto was working on a possible production stunt model, and so was some one else here on the forum, the name escapes me. Another guy whose name escapes me had one of those prototype models here at our contest several years ago and clamed to not have one inch of any kind of wood in it. Trian is the only name I can get out of my brain right now. My guess is that the process is too slow, labor intensive and expensive to reach the average Joe Bellcranks out there.
