Classic EU-1 and EU-1A

Dean Koger was a top pilot during the 70's and as a member of the USAF lived in both Ohio and my home town of Omaha. Wayne Ulery lived in Ohio and teamed up with Dean with the super cool EU-1 that competed in the 1977 Tournament of Champions. Model Airplane news offered a construction article of the EU-1 that I attempted in high school and then I woke up one day and discovered girls...

The EU-1A was kitted by Dave Scully at Aero Composites and offered a sleeker airplane that after one raised the stab 1/4" was pretty nifty. Five of us built EU-1As for the 1981 AMA Nats in Lincoln, NE but my model was finished and sold without me flying because yes...girls. It was between my freshmen and sophomore year of college.

I have an original Aero Composites kit in Dave Guerin's workshop as maybe our last project in our series.
