RE: Jack Sheets Hurricane
Jack Sheek's bizarre Sheik, I beam gull wing, twin rudder with V-tail. A lot of fun to build, it had a flight of several seconds and gave me the most terrifying modelling experience I ever had.
I used old wheels, the type with aluminum hubs and rubber "grommet" style tyres. On first launch the front wheel spat it's tyre off [X(], dug the front LG into the ground and hooked itself towards me. I had a roaring Enya 29 on the nose (believe me, Enya 29's have a LOT of power. ) with a Bolly 9x6 and the Sheik tore straight at me. I ran for my life, literally. The sheik then started stunting all of it's own inside the circle and I tried with all of my might to get line tension.
Well, I never did, but the model lit up and started flying out of the circle (I still had the handle with me). In my attempts to escape from the model I had unwittingly stepped into a loop of line, this pulled tight on my bare ankle (yes, I bled) and the sheik really did pull the tightest loops I have ever seen. And that engine roared. The pain in my ankle caused me to try and loosen the loop of line and the Sheik hammered into the ground.
I really want to build it again one day, but I think Dave Brown Lights are a better choice of wheel.
