Vic Smeed Popsie part 6

Hi Tom,

Little Fat Sucker with a Fat J-3 Cub Stripe. No matter how nicely I build this model or decorate it, people are going to laugh!

The model is ready for flight. The Tee connector has not arrived, but I can plug the battery to the ESC. I checked the controls this morning and ran the motor a little.

Let me know when you are coming to pick up the model. I will charge the battery so we can make the initial flight at the college.

Bugaboo

Another ugly model (with a happy owner). This one spotted recently in Muncie, Indiana at the AMA's fabulous flying site.

This Fat Sucker is almost complete. Still got to glue the stab on to the fuselage and connect the push rod connectors.

The Coverite lite weight material that looks like transparent tissue is a bear to work with on sheet wood and on compound curves.

I installed screen door mesh on the last bottom open area to exit the heat from the battery and the ESC and keep out small critters.

This model is so fat it is hard to get a good photograph.

Lanzo Record Breaker

Relegated to virtual obscurity following the discovery of the Lanzo Bomber and the Lanzo Airborn, the Lanzo Record Breaker was once a common sight at Old Timer events.
