Other one is Mark Radcliff's original Super Fli flown at the 1978 TOC being inducted into the AMA Museum. It's last flight was at last years Chicagoland Classic. It has a 90 and weighed 9 pounds so that's why I think I can get away with a 1.08 in the Laser.

Great news, I'll be back too with the Tiger Tail III (and I'll need a caller Chris?)

Hook:

I'm on the west side of town. Off Orchard Rd. 1/2 mile West of Randall Rd. I've been a member of FVAC since 2007. I've flown casually up till now. Wanted to get into something competitive that wouldn't cost me an arm and a leg (rules out ballistic pattern and IMAC). I thought classic pattern would be fun and not break the bank. So, here we go....

fly-24,
Trust me, I know the "cost and arm and a leg" thing to well (mostly). You're really close, I'm just east of Randall, south of Oak Street. I fly down at the Aurora Barnstormers field off of Hankes Rd. You can fly, compete, do well, and enjoy fantastic comraderie with nothing more than a &ower Kaos 40!
I started getting fully engaged in RC again about two years ago, and now it really is "So, here we go". Welcome and hope to meet up with you soon.

Status: offline 		More exciting updates from Rusty on his Chicagoland Classic Pattern Contest...

"Classic TOC"...a new classic pattern class.

The Tournament of Champions may be THE most influential event ever created...in the world of radio control precision aerobatics. !n 1978, the format was changed, mandating the use of models with a scale outline (15% maximum deviation) and flying full scale aeobatic sequences in an aerobatic "box".

I endeavor to create a new class called "Classic TOC" which is outlined in the attached article (please publish everywhere with my permission!)

The most popular model was the Akromaster designed by Ed Keck. A group of my pals that I call "Rusty's Elves" have created a semi-kit consisting of laser cut wood and foam wing/stab. They created both a glow version per the original Webra .91 and an "E" version that I am using an Electri-Fly 120 on 5S/6S with removable hatch.

Complete rules and stuff are in the works courtesy of the original materials from Mark Radcliff.

More from the 2011 Chicagoland Classic Pattern Championships
Classic TOC...a few photos of models.

1978 entries included the Akromaster (6), Zlin 526 (2) and the Laser 200. Model Airplane News published the Akromaster and Laser 200 with the plans still available. Semi kits are available through pals of Rusty for the Akromaster, Zlin and Laser. Rusty simply wants to create participation...participation comes from modelers building the models and need kits!

Hanno Prettner flew the largest Dalotel in 1978, was about 10% smaller in 1980 and the smallest in 1982 (picture shown). Bridi subsequently received permission from Hanno for a kit...Bridi sold the company to Great Planes and Great Planes produced the kits.

I have the original Great Planes demo model and sample packing kit as a gift from my long time pal Don Anderson. My model is in the process of being restored and will have an original Webra .91 gear drive.

The vent/muffler presssure tube was against the tank top almost shutting it off. Also replaced engine bearings. Retracts should be working also.

I think my son, Nick, will also be flying this year.

I don't. But the Laser, Acromaster and Dalotel each have a Rusty thread here on RCU from last year and some had links to plans and mag articles, etc.

Rusty Dose
Contest Director




Tiporare 750 1981 "Replica"

The following thread will be the third in a series recreating FAI world championship models or those that competed in an FAI WC.

Goal: To recreate the model as close to the original as possible including, construction materials, engine, muffler/exhaust system, control features, color scheme and decoration.

Subject #3: Dave Brown Tiporare 750 1981 USA FAI team member

Kit: Dick Hanson

Builder: Dick Hanson

Paint/covering: Custom by Dave Guerin

Decoration: Rusty Dose

Equipment Installation: Rusty Dose

Notes: This model was purchased on E-Bay during the Fall of 2010 for around $700 plus shipping from the original customer. The model was contracted and delivered around 1982. The model is an authentic 'Hanson built" model, by the original designer Dick Hanson. The package included Dick's infamous hand written notes and instructions as well as his original hand written instructions.

The model is for the Tiporare 750, which according to T. Frakowiak, was not flown by D. Brown at the 1981 WC...
