Default RE: Sterling Models

This is a great thread for a trip down memory lane...

I still have the Sterling Tri-pacer I built in 1969-70 hanging in the garage pretty much ready to fly. I don't remember the model number, but it came with the steel nose cowl. I orginally built it as a rudder-only ship with an escapement setup. I think the plans showed the layout for that but I can't be sure. Never got the nerve to launch it with a push button radio, though, and probably a good thing. I set it up to fly 3 channels and flew it several times in the early eighties. Looks great in the air and on the ground.

Wish they would bring them back!
