Hi Tom:

I knocked out an Alien Aircraft Flutterbye and Bob Aberle's Mini Mambo.

First Flight of Bob Aberle's Lanzo Cabin Stick

Yesterday I managed my first flight session with my new 200 square inch, 7.2 ounce 1937 Lanzo RC Cabin Stick Champion model. It flew just great and needed no trim at all. CG ended up at 30% back. At close to 40 watts input power my power loading is in excess of 75 watts/pound. That means I can fly for 15 minutes or more at only half throttle. The battery is a two cell 750, the motor is an E-Flite PARK-250. Prop a GWS 6 X 3.

Took me about 4 days to construct. The fuselage sticks are 1/8 X 7/16 hard balsa reinforced with .007 inch thick X 1/4 inch wide carbon fiber tape. The cabin sides were made flat. They don't project out as did Chet's original.

Photos attached!

Really Small Lanzo Cabin Stick

Bucky,

Thanks to your help, my 200 square inch (reduced size) version of Chet Lanzo's
1937 R/C CABIN STICK model is complete. It weighs only 7 ounces. I tried to
pretty much use your color scheme. I hope to fly it this weekend or if the
weather doesn't cooperate I fly it at the big Keystone Indoor Electric Fly
(KIEF) the week after in Muncy, PA. That's now the biggest indoor RC show in
the world. The inflatable dome is 600 feet long with a ceiling close to 100
feet. This is the KIEF website: http://www.pafunfly.com/

200 Square Inch Tatone Atomizer

Tom,

I flew my 200sq" / 7 ounce ATOMIZER yesterday. At 96 watts/pound it goes like a sky rocket. Attached are a few photos. I'm using an AXCI 2203-46 on 2 X 800 mAh Li-oly cells. (42 watts input power). This will be in the October RC MICRO WORLD.

I won my only 1/2 A Texaco contest while down in the Tampa, Fl area flying with Fred Mulholland. Out of 33 entries that day I had the only two 15 miunute max flights with my full size 288 sq." ATOMIZER. I have a photo that shows Walt Good giving my my plaque.

Small Electric Lanzo Airborn

Bucky,

We got our big snow just before Christmas on Long Island. Attached are a
couple of shots of our 24 inches --- what a mess! Fortunately yesterdays
storm passed south of us and into the Atlantic.

I just finished a reduced size replica old timer that might interest you. It
is Chet's AIRBORN, done at 200 square inches and weighing just 6.8 ounces
with 17 watts input power. This was scaled down from Jim O'Reilly 1/2A
Texaco plans and will be in the March issue of RC MICRO WORLD. This is the
fourth in my series, previously I did the PLAYBOY CABIN (which is now
available as a kit), Lanzo BOMBER and Gil Morris' KERSWAP. We are hoping to set up
a nationwide postal contest for this size old timer aircraft.
