Two from the past
 
1 Attachment(s)
I found some old photos last week of my early pattern planes. The brown and white was a modified Coyote that was a Jim Goad design. Finish was Superpoxy and the power was the HP 61. The other was my design called a Cyclone. It featured a fiberglass fuselage and sheeted wings like the Coyote and was powered by an OPS 61 and later by an Aldrich custom Webra 61.

As I went further I found that the Banshee and the Tiger Tail were better designs for the way pattern was flown at that time.

The blond in the one picture is my oldest daughter who has just become a grandmother and would be upset to see this picture published.

RE: Two from the past
 
I received a pm from a fellow asking about the availibility of the Cyclone.

Everything pertaining to the airplane was scrapped 30 years ago. The last kits that I made were in 1976 and the last one that I saw flying was in 1978.
