Yup.  Just looked it up in my binders.  October '69 MAN.  The original was gorgeous as well.  Gordon is a true modeler's modeler. 

Hope he's getting around better than the last time I saw him.  Is his Sandy with him?  Between the two of them they've been suffering real hitches in their get-a-longs for several years now.  Sure hope they're both back up to speed.

Hi Ted, Sorry to hear you where under the weather just before leaving. Hope your feeling better. The weather was great all week. Thank you for the nice comments about the Bellanca. I was doing fair with my pain pill. Sandy is waiting for surgery on her left ankle in April. She is a strong woman and a good one too. I all looked up to you for years. Your always a sport and have hi standards which I admire.. Just a little note on my last  flight I had one of those great flights going on right up to the time I forgot the Hourglass. Not so happy camper.

Gordy

I prefer not to talk about screwed up hourglasses! 

Give your lady a hug for us and give her our best.

Ted

What we are seeing is a few of the front-row models with all the trick paint jobs.

There's more to VSC than that!

Speaking of front row models with beautiful paint, does anyone know where plans for that Quasar can be had?

Thanks,

I thought the Quasar was a Fred Bachl design.  Who knows?

That Quasar design is by Bob English.  The model at VSC was done by Tom McClain.  I do not know where he got the plans.

Yeah, that plane has a sweet shape. Would love to build one.
It's caught my eye multiple times now in various pics. It could be LOVE, LOL.
Any leads on plans appreciated.

Some day some one will tell me how to get them right side up?

Just for the record, the flag flying in the picture shows the Colorado colors, not Texas.

Jerry and Merry Phelps were at VSC, but Jerry did not fly.

Merry tabulated for 5 days and Jerry did some score sheet running (actual walking).

They said they had a great time and were in Az. for about a month.  They are back home in Ohio now.  I believe they are considered going to the Brodak contest.
