Default RE: Before the Brushfire there was...

Found some photos of the very first Brushfire with a younger Steve Rojecki. This is the balsa and foam original that Steve and I built and Steve flew. This ship was used to cast the first set of molds for a fiberglass fuselage. The vinyl letters transferred to the molds and had to be sanded off if you didn't want them.

The line drawing is the trainer I'm building for the grandkids. Everything framed up but the fuselage so far. Hopefully, it'll be happy to fly straight and level if you just let go of the controls. Rejoined the AMA and the local club so I'll have a place to fly it when the time comes.

Back to the work now. The yard awaits.
