Thanks for all the comments. This was a "Beginner" basic effort for scale. I knew going in that it would hurt point wise to not have a throttle.
I chose the "Mr Mulligan " as it made sense as a first effort. All white with some decals. I did score well in the static part. I did not want to mess with a three line bellcrank ,etc in that plane. My competition was against a Nats winner John Wright and other experienced scale pilots.
Mission accomplished , plane was built ,experience in basic scale documentation, and scale contest experience. I am in the process of building
a 60" Rearwin Speedster which will have throttle 2.4 system and will again be entered in sport Scale. This was a very fun experience and will
be repeated many times. I have always liked scale ! Most of my C/L stunt planes were somewhat semi scale anyway. ( I am not a very good
stunt pilot) I have flown in C/L stunt ,Laser 200,Chipmunk, and latest is profile Sea Fury. After competing since `1984 in stunt it is time to
do what really is fun for me. My father was a B-24 pilot and was a flight instructor in the Navy, he taught his students to fly in Stearman
bipe and then AT6 . My namesake Walter E Less was a Early Aviation Pioneer , he was a test pilot for Curtis Wright , and at one time
held the world endurance record of 84 hours continuous flight early 1930s in a Packard Bellanca , with a Diesel engine!! This held until 1986 when
Burt Rutan broke it with the Voyager. So all that being said it is only fitting that I fly scale.
