Nice looking plane. Looks a little bit like the Primary Force. Any plans for an electric version for the sparkies amongst us?

I built that in 1972 and it was published in Flying Models Magazine, January 1973 issue.  I still have it although it is 3 pieces.

Cool looking Profile. If they have them ready at the contest this June I'll pick one up for Sam.

Dick,

WOW!

I'm impressed and I don't impress easily. LL~

Really nice lines and moments. Wins in "every" contest it entered.

Are you winning contests? Congratulations on the model and your contest wins!!

Hi Dick

You've waited a few years for this day. I'm happy to have been a small part of seeing your design kitted. I always stopped to look at it when checking over the plans catalog for years..

It's a  well designed profile with  modern "Jet" look, and from your contest record, must fly quite well.

Congratulations Mr. Pacini

John Miller H^^

The Spirit of Saginaw is one of those profiles that looks and flies as well as most full body ships.  I remember when, Dick!  Congrats, and it ain't bragging when you can back it up!

Thank you Dennis.  I remember the many times your dad gave me pointers on how to improve my pattern.  His advice and a good airplane made lots of good flights possible.

Congratulations Dick.  That is a good looking model.  I hope many kits of it will be sold.

I built one the summer of 1973. Had an Enya 35 on it. Nice plane.
