Flying New Plane Today
Met John Bender at the field this afternoon to do a little flying. I didn't take anything as i am busy trying to put finish on two airplanes. He had his new Brodak Super Clown. Has functional flaps with elevator and sewn hinges. Covered with Oracover and dope on fuselage. The plane looked great right off to bat. Second flight he tweaked the flaps to lift the out board wing on level flight. He proceeded to put in a complete pattern. He then let me fly it. I put it thru the old time pattern. Can't wait until we have better weather to really see what it will do. Of course I don't see any thing wrong with it now. That little LA 25 pulled the 29 ounces with authority. By the way, temps were in mid 20's. DOC
