My dad still has the Daddy Rabbit hanging in the rafters in his basement. It looks a little worse for wear as it was my first patternship. It was a hand-me-down from my older (more talented) brother, and as an 8yr old, it received several beatings from me. It hasn't flown since 1984, and it's setup as a trike with retracts, so it would definately have to run a 60. I know I could get it assembled in time for Knoxville, but I don't think I could do a good job of trimming it out by then. I flew it in novice back then, so I had to leave the gear down, and we couldn't run a pipe. It last flew with an old supertigre blue head, and as I recall, it was a dog vertically (fiberglass version). I loved pre-turnaround pattern, and am looking forward to flying it again, but I'd like to perform as well as I can, but that particular daddy rabbit I don't think is my ticket....but my tipo....she's all trimmed out and waiting to go!!
