Chicago Classic Pattern Championships...May 29,2010!
Practice and planes to ''borrow''...
Practice- The Fox Valley Aero Club field will be open for practice beginning @ 9:00 Friday May 28th. Dave Guerin and I will be on hand for registration and any assistance you may require. The field will also be available Sunday and Monday ''open'' flying for interested pilots.
Planes to ''borrow''- I am not surprised, but to this point I have had no official requests to borrow a model from my fleet. Therefore, I am reducing the models that will be available to the following:
World Models Intruder- This ''stock'' version has totally trick electronics, pushrod clevis set-up and is trimmed to perfection. The machine is powered by an OS FX .61 with Mac's tuned exhaust system. The Futaba 14MZ transmitter will allow you to personalize a custom set-up for you...if you show up on Friday to make the changes! This model can be competitive at all levels of SPA/BPA... it does NOT have unlimited vertical.
Calypso ''Replica''- This Hanno Prettner designed 1983 FAI World Champion is finished virtually identically to the original color scheme and graphics. The model is powered by the Super Tigre S-61 with macs pipe and has retracts.
Blue Angel ''Replica''- This Dave Gurein Built 1973 FAI World Champion is truly a work of art. It was built from the Wega-Sunshine kit and is powered by a YS .61 with an old school Hatori muffler.
All models feature Futaba electronics, well tuned motors and are limited by the abilities of the pilot. No cost, no fees to ''borrow''...just a smile!

Rusty:
You can put me down for one of the loaners. While I had good intentions of getting something built for your event, time and finances exhausted that option. I'll get with you at one of the upcoming club meetings to discuss which of your offerings would be best suited for me. I plan to fly either novice or sportsman class.
Also, as a JR user, will my hands experience uncontrollable burning or break out in a rash from holding a Futaba radio?
