Flying/Building Reports

Elmer showed his Crackerjack fuselage with landing gear and cabane struts (for the wing) installed.   The landing gear took all of December to build. Elmer estimates that the build is about half done. He has been flying indoors at the LDS church.

John brought his Great Planes ARF scale model of the Harmon F-1 Rocket, a variant of the RV-4 homebuilt plane. It is powered with an OS 55 two stroke glow engine (NO electric for John).

Great Planes F-1 Rocket

Don has been flying indoors at the Asotin High School gym.

Leroy is working on a J-3 Cub.

Dan Cordon is getting back into RC after a long time away. He has a Radian glider on order.

Bruce got a new coaxial helicopter at Hastings. It is not quite right - needs tinkering.
