| Heres a few of my models on display. |
|
| We gave away 1500 gliders |
| The Black Sheep Squadron's display at |
|
| 2003 Los Angeles County Fair. We're famous! |
| I just couldn't resist flying my Scofflaw |
|
| under the Montgomery Glider replica |
|
| Storch built from an old Guillows kit. Heavy! |
| This Stuka is from the old Comet kit. |
|
| I left out a LOT of structure so it would fly. |
| P-26 "Peashooter" 28" span |
|
| CO2 powered free-flight from an old Sterling kit . |
The dummy motor/cowling assembly is held on with magnets for crash-resistance and
access to the real motor. Twin-cylinder Gasparin with throttle. Another magnet holds a cowling hatch which
allows acess to the throttle assembly. A linkage lets the cockpit throttle lever control the motor speed. The
pilot pops out to reveal the fill fitting. japanese tissue, ModelMaster acrylic paint under clear dope.
| Boy Scouts and Delta Darts |
|
| The results of a recent Delta Dart session. Hectic but fun. |

Here's an all-balsa electric profile Stuka for indoor. I cheated pretty bad on the outline so it would fly better.
It has a Kenway motor and 2 cells.

The Black Sheep Squadron runs informal contests at the "grassy knoll" FF site. This is at Woodley park in Van Nuys,
California. For the Guillows "500" series meet I built a Stuka and an ME-109, both rubber-powered. The '109 flew
nicely, the Stuka did not, but it looked nice!

The O.F.F.C. held a profile rubber meet indoors, and I made this Helio Courier. The camo was drawn on Windows Paint
and printed on my bubblejet. This model flies very well indeed. Rolled balsa tube motor stick and cropped plastic
commercial prop keep the weight down. BTW "O.F.F.C." stands for Old Farts Flying Club. They meet wednesday mornings
in Sun Valley, CA.

I love pioneer-era aircraft. The fullsize Garcia Polyplane was not successful, but my a peanut version was.
It didn't break any records but what fun to fly such an awkward-looking model!
