Hiya Dwight, you're on the list. Will these be your first flights or have you been flying for a while? Also, which models did you build?
Hi Lorenzo,
Sorry for the delay getting back to you - been crazy busy at work.
As far as foamies go, I've built a Bloody Barron, a Delta, an FT-22, and most of an Ansley Peace Drone canard (one of Ed's designs from Experimental Airlines). I've also just finished up the wing for a Midwest Hots that I'm scratch building. I tend to have a couple-three projects going on at one time...
I was an avid flier back in the BC years (that's "Before Children", you know). I built and flew many balsa gas/glow planes with 72 mhz radio gear. Electrics were just about at the level of toys in those days (late 80's into the early-mid 90's). My go-to planes were a Dynaflite Fun-scale Corsair (.40 size glow) and a Midwest Hots that I scratch built form the very same set of plans that I'm building from now. It was a real screamer with an OS 46 SF glow motor. I took a radio hit on takeoff and she came to an untimely end.
I'm really looking forward to getting back to a field again - especially without all the caster oil mess to clean up at the end of the day! In cold weather, that stuff is just plain nasty.
Dwight
