He talked with Dave Platt at Toledo who had his 1/4-scale at Toledo. Great job Roger.īarry gives us the rundown on his Bulldogīarry Jones finally got his Bulldog finished after a bit of time off. It needs some finishing touches and will soon be airworthy once again. The plane, which formerly was another members, met with an unfortunate incident at the field near the end of last flying season. Roger Wilfong showed off his newly "revived" E-flite Beaver. The covering will be Solite and it is to be powered by an outrunner motor. It uses the small, light Spektrum radio gear.\Īndrew Rellinger is constructing a Mountain Models Little Bogie. There was a lot of effort put into getting it very light. Larry Markey showed his 1/2 size original Blender 39g. Bill is really impressed with the whole thing. The rest of the engineering of the airframe was nicely done. Hi back plate for the spinner was warped some, but they are sending a replacement. It was $239 for everything but the receiver and power battery. KMĪt Toledo, Bill bought a Green Models Albatross. Sorry about not getting a photo at the meeting. A swan attacked the plane when his son was float flying.īill's Albatross is similar to this one, but green. Larry Markey flew their first model, which did not fly well and gave them some good pointers on a redesign.īill showed what was left of his son's E-flite Taylorcraft wing. He said the Lawrence Tech Senior team did well with their design this year. Bob's planes are a masterpiece to behold and always great fliers.īill Brown had several things to share with us. The finish is expertly done with car paint and polyurethane. The Apogee IV uses a hollow core composite wing with PA. You can reach him via email at 2010 Show & Tellīob McDonald showed his Apogee IV control line aerobatics plane. If you have questions about control line flying using electric power, Rick would be happy to answer them for you. The Will Hubin timer controls the voltage to the ESC and the time. He uses the helicopter governor mode to keep his up-lines and down-lines at the same speed. Rick uses a standard Castle Creations ESC that is controlled by his timer/controller. He has built a motor hatch and mounting system so that he can easily change between an AXI, Scorpion and Arrowind outrunner. The airframe was constructed from a Brodak Legacy kit with some parts substitution and modifications made by Rick.

He was, in his younger days, a top competitor in control line, along with his father. Rick has been doing electric control line for at least six years now. Rick Sawicki brought his latest control line electrically powered model, the Legacy, to share with us. The floats "weigh a ton" and are fiberglass. When he got it, it was just a wing under construction and some broken up old plans. He got the plane for nothing when a fellow gave it to him. He calls his "Wet or Dry" since it uses landing gear or floats. It was designed by Joe Bridi in 1968 and appeared as a construction article in Radio Control Modeler. George Lemieux showed off his new RCM Trainer 60. When using the initial test flight prop, an APC 13x8E, the power in will be about 430 watts. Ken will have a lot more information about the conversion on the Internet soon and let you know where you can find it.

It has taken Ken about four and a half months to complete the conversion. It is fitted with a Scorpion SII-3026-710 outrunner, Jeti Spin 44 ESC and a 4S "A123" 2300mAh pack. Ken Myers shared his nearly completed conversion of an E-Flite PT-19 Stearman into Super Stearman N56772. The beautiful graphics, that really set this plane off, are from Callie Graphics. It also uses two Scorpion 35 amp ESCs and a 3S 5000mmAh Li-Poly. You can learn more about the design and Mark's and Denny's versions on RC Groups at Denny's version uses a pair of Scorpion SII-3008-1090 motors and is outfitted with retracts. Denny's is the second prototype of this Mark Rigginger design. It requires a Micro 3 or 4-Channel receiver (uses three channels), a Micro 7.2 volt 7 amp speed control, 2 micro servos 7-10 In oz and a 2/3 AAA NIMH 6 cell 7.2 volt pack or you can also use the Gravity 450mah Li-poly cell.ĭenny Sumner brought in his beautifully Ultracoted Super Sportwin. The plane has a wingspan of 20.4 inches, length of 17.3 inches and flying weight of about 5 oz. It is supplied with a brushed motor, which has plenty of power. It flies a long time on the on a 2S Li-Poly 500mAh battery. He feels that the plane is pretty tough and easily repairable. It took him a while to tame it and he told about flying it through the rafters there. While the plane can be flown outside in light winds, Bill noted that it flies okay in the Ultimate Soccer Arenas. Gravity sells it for $15.99 at their Web site. Midwest RC Society February 2010 Show & Tellīill Brown shared is Gravity Zero indoor flier.
