Status: offline 		My wife has thought over the past thirty years that I was addicted. Some of you characters take the cake.

My models are pretty much my own designs. Pretty well all flying wings. I will buy flying wings if the price is right. There isn't one that I couldn't get flying.

To prove a point I have taken a number of standard aircraft, horizontal stab, and converted them to flying wings. They have all flown exceptionally well.

No point in listing them. I did find it necessary last year to build a 12 x 14' shed to move some models out of the house.

The question of what airfoil works best. They all do. I am continually designing new airfoils.

My next big challenge is designing a DLG flying wing that will hopefully compare with Mark Drela's gliders and a flying wing that will be 3D capable. My 91 Powered wing is ok but it's still to heavy. I am going to try using an OS 10.

Aside from the Flying Wings I have built many scale free flight catapult launched get aircraft. I have 200 kits in my shed that I was hopping to sell. Gave that up. No one in Canada is interested in working with Styrofoam.

Attached are a few photos.

Status: offline 		I got back into the hobby March of 2003. Now I have four planes ready-to-fly, one on the table, and five more new in the box.

My biggest problem is that I'm not into building that much. I love flying, but building seems like homework to me. That being said, I'm like a proud papa when I finish a plane.

Airworthy:

Hobbico Avistar #2 - OS .40 LA, Futaba - SkySport 4VF
Hobbico SkyVista - Tower .46 ABC - Futaba SkySport 4VF
Thunder Tiger Lazy Tiger P-51 - OS .40 LA - Futaba 7 Super, Model #1
Great Planes J-3 Cub ARF, with GP floats - OS 91 FS - Futaba 7 Super, Model #2 (bought used)

Building:

Great Planes Super Sportster - OS .46FX - Futaba 9CAP

New in box:

Great Planes Lancair - Saito 100 - Futaba 9CAP
VectorFlight Edge 540 - Saito 100 planned - Futaba 9CAP
Dave Patrick Ultimate 1.20 - Saito 180 planned - Futaba 9CAP
Soarstar Electric - future airborne video platform and park flyer
Alfa F4U-1 Corsair - electric park flyer

Simulator:

RealFlight G2 with Addons 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5

Crashed:

Great Planes Cherokee - OS .46SF (my only kit build, probably my last...) Crashed on maiden due to loss of control. Was flying fine until my Dad asked the test pilot (not me) to do a snaproll. Before I could say "No heavy acrobatics on the first flight" the guy did it and the plane went dead after that - maybe a loose batery or just bad batteries - those old NiCads were sitting around for three years while I built/ignored the Cherokee.

Hobbico Avistar #1 - First plane when I got back into hobby. Crashed into a tree on maiden due to cocky pilot (me) thinking he could just go out and fly after ten years off. Remember to reverse ailerons/rudder when the plane is flying towards you!
