Default RE: Revenger flight after 30 years

Thank you for posting the pictures. They bring back great memories of when your Dad and I started Allied Hobbies Manufacturing and were flying the Pattern Contest Circuit.

You are right about the Rustler. It was a plane I designed between the Integra and the Revenger. It flew better than the Integra but not as well as the Revenger. Each of the designs had special flight characteristics based on the class the pilots were flying. Each plane flew very well but as the pattern manuevers became more difficult, I made changes to each design that I felt would improve the way they executed the manuevers. As you may remember, each design was capable of winning any pattern contest. Back in the seventies you could always find an Integra at a contest and the flyers normally always took home a trophy

It was really great visiting with you and your dad on the phone and will look forward visiting again soon.

Dick
