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

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.
