Ok, so I'm totally confused. When I first saw pictures, I assumed it was a man carrying ultralite. But in this last set of pictures I see wires and servos and a dummy pilot. So, it's RC. You have put a radio in a 100% Ultralite?

A magnificent sight Andy. Flying majestically overhead and doing some OP or recon work. Hey looks like Bob was with you on the maiden. How is he doing?

Maybe this will help you Steve....

We (Steve Gary and myself) built this project for the Dayton Dawn Patrol. 2016
It is a full scale Bellanca 1912. I wanted to give those full scale pilots a run for there money...from our R/C community!
Over the winter we went over approx. 470 aircraft that could be built full scale and make AMA weight.....there is about 3 of them.
This is Giuseppe Mario Bellanca's first plane he built in 1912.

I will try to get the flying video up today but the file is too large, I don't know how to shrink it..........

Thanks, Paul. Cleared that up and also answered another question. I wondered if Dayton would continue on even years now, or skip a year to get back on odd years??

The Air Force is not going to approve flying that on their grounds. You can under the AMA at your club field, but not under the auspices of the US Air Force, the FAA and the AMA....and with the public near-by.
So you cleared this operation with anyone from the AF Museum staff?

I'm going to thin out some projects I'll never finish. First is a Proctor N-28 kit. Partially built as shown. The wings have not been started. Asking $375, new kit sells for $550. I will not ship it, I will bring it to the HDP in a few weeks. Construction is above average

The 2015 Hoosier Dawn Patrol ls just around the corner ......... so get your planes ready and make plans to attend.

14 15 16 Aug at the AMA National Flying Site.

I was digging through some old pictures and found my first original design. It was also my first triplane. It consisted of the wings from a broken Ace All Star Biplane and another Ace foam wing from their Wizard 1/2A 2 channel sport plane........this was somewhere circa late 1970s when I was in the US Army and still able to fit into my high school letter jacket, GO Triton Tigers!



The fuselage was made out of corrugated cardboard box covered with Solar Film and powered by an OS 25. It would have flown much better with a 40 size engine.
I like wings, what can I say.

This is what I will be bringing this year:

Isn't that a handsome Dude, eh? He looks just the same as back in the 70s, right?

My 1/3 scale original design Nieuport 11
Me and my BUSA 1/3 scale DR1 flying with my wingman Greg Hahn and his BUSA 1/3 Fokker DVII

You all have seen my Tripe before but here is a better shot of Greg's new plane....

Hey Greg! Do you remember this?

Billy, do you remember when we tried to steal a flight when Dale was sleeping? But couldn't get the engine started?

Lee, was this a great flight or what?!



An early version of the "Review of the Threes".......now they are mostly all threes!

Sir Percy, I presume this year's event will be as casual of some of the past Hoosier Dawn Patrol's.
