RE: Ed Kecks pattern planes
Here are some shots of the planes.
Eds workmanship has been eye opening for me.
The construction is built up balsa and they appeared covered with a light fiberglass cloth and sprayed with K+B SuperPoxy.
The tails are removeable with one bolt, MK retracts and mixture control.
I know that Ed also set a pylon record with a 6.5 k+b powered Cassut racer.
I also have some unfinished parts and pieces that he was putting together in a transition to turnaround style ?
A friend of mine has one of these and it is a taildrager powered by a Enya 120 R ,I prefer the trike style that I have.
My first pattern plane was a TigerTail that I flew in the early 90's,as of late I have been flying a .60 size Ultra Sport.
I had forgoten how nice my TT flew,a few years back I sold it to a friend and he had been flying it at a local fun fly,after going from horizion to horizion in knife edge he was asked by another pilot what mixes he had set up...
He held up his transmitter and said what are mixes ?I think he was using a 4 channel Futaba conquest at the time.
I am really looking forward to flying these pattern ships again !
