VRCS pics
 
I'm going to try and put up better resolution/quality pics a bit later. My goof.

Here's some stuff I took at Mid South. The first one is a Bill Northrop designed Square Hare. "Mister Scale", Dave Platt is getting his VR/CS One Design for 2006, the Goldberg Falcon 56 ready for flight. Then there is the Citizen-Ship proportional transmitter and a number of vintage airplanes, among them a deBolt Rebel, Falcon 56 with a Controlaire 10 channel synthetic reed system, Ron Morgan's Phoenix I, Dave Platt's Fleetwing which flew with an Orbit 10 channel synthetic reed system, a deBolt Champ and Sr. Falcon and a Class II Stark Shark.

Bob Harris put together a first class event (despite what he thinks :D) and I sure would like to return for 2007!

Nice pics. I'll get some of mine up tonight. Unfortunately, I won't be able to identify all the planes and who built them.

I'm afraid that short dude with the gray hair directly behind Platt's fuse is me! Yikes!

Mike-
Dave Platt's Orbit that resides in his Fleetwing is actually a twelve channel system, not a ten. It features aileron trim.
I know because I just completed it for him two weeks ago.

Another pic. Here's the Orbit you guys are referring to:

Yup, that's my Big John. The vintage radios are from Ron Morgan's collection. Ron brought the Eyeball, Phoenix and Stark Shark. 12 channel Orbit? Oops....sure missed that one!

Hey grotto2 I'd like to talk to you about converting a radio. I have several Ace 27mhz narrow band modules and receivers. Can they be used for a conversion?

5. Spook. Owner had the larger version, too
6. Sr. Falcon and deBolt Trainer?

Anyone know the gentleman that was selling oldtimer planes out in the parking lot?

I bought this Miss Philadelphia on Saturday and had it flying on Sunday.

Saito 56 pulls it straight up (thats the only engine I had available)

I'd like to thank him for the great deal.
