Folks,
Three SAM 117 members (Poole, McIntyre and Hiner) flew today at the SOAR Old Grove Road field today. Our second day this March flying at this field. Today's high temp: in the 50's. Two weeks ago, in the upper 40's. Both days wind: less than 10 mph.
First flights on Glen's Speed 400 Twin Cyclone. I made the first and only flight on this new model. Needs some trim and radio changes before next flights. Original size of this design by a Fort Wayne modeler. Glen plans on flying this model at a Fort Wayne SAM contest this year.
Here is the photo with Glen holding his new model.
Two weeks ago, McIntyre took some photos of the Anderson Pylon built for me by Burkart and McIntyre. 99-inch wingspan with geared Neu motor. 21/14 carbon fiber propeller
11 pounds 6 ounces. Klarich kit & John Pond plans. Long tail and large wood sizes. Twelve 2500 mAh Nicds for the motor. Heavy powerful servos. Two-piece wing and large radio battery.
