So you think you know your classic pattern planes?
Ok then, ignoring the color choices and the geek in the 24 year old pic, tell me what plane that is. This message will self destruct in 7 days....tick...tick....tick.... -Mike (I swear I was never that geeky....I swear!) |
RE: Name that plane

RE: Name that plane
ORIGINAL: Erik Johansson Pagan maybe? :) /Erik Cheater, you read it somewhere...you had to.....I haven't ever heard of this plane on here before. Phooey!!! But yep that's what it was. polyester glass fuse, foam wing and stab cores. Nothing would stick to that fuse, I ended up putting screws through the glass into the firewall. But it flew great!!! It was also the only plane I've ever flown at -1 deg wing incidence. Odd, but it worked. -Mike |
RE: Name that plane
Well yeah... I did cheat a little. But it was still just luck. Actually I´ve never seen the thing before. I just remember that somewhere you had mentioned your first pattern plane, did a search and there it was. ;)
Just a stroke of luck that this one was really the one you mentioned and not another, since you seem to have had a few. :) So I just couldn´t keep myself from making that guess. /Erik |
RE: Name that plane
One degree negative wing incidense? My Leo 90 from Giant Scale Planes came with -1 degree wing incidense built right into it. Why do you suppose they did that?

I had a Pagan too. I was my first 60 size pattern aircraft and was powered by an Enya 60. I built a second one with tri gear retracts but ended up selling it before it flew. As I recall the kit was made by a company called Flightglass or Fliteglass. They also made a scale P51 and Ralph’s Gladiator. Here’s an image of my Pagan in flight and on the runway circa 1968. The third image is Ralph and his Gladiator.

RE: Name that plane
Thanks...that's the only other Pagan I've ever seen. And yes it was Fliteglass. But nothing would stick to the fuse. Wierd. Like it was just permeated with wax or something. Mine had a (get this now) piped Fox Eagle II with a robart pump. It would out turn a Rossi. But it only had one position it ran well in: wide open. But the power was incredible. I bet that plane weighed every ounce of 9.5 lbs.
