More Airplane Stuff

Group photo

This homemade, home-designed plane is what we learned to fly on.
This airplane was very easy to fly.  We made over thirty flights, each flight lasting
twenty minutes or more.  I learned too late that this plane was not an acrobatic one.
Sad to say, this plane is no more.

Here it is coming in for a landing.

Didn't get out of the way fast enough.

The Photo Plane and its fateful voyage.

      It's really a shame that this airplane met its demise so early.  This is a plane that
I would build over if I had the time. This is another plane of my own design.  Because of the
small engine things had to be rather cramped to fit the disposable camera in the belly.  Weight was a big
concern but as you can see it worked and It flew well until something went very wrong.  
It plummeted straight down almost immediately after it had taken its picture

The wreckage

Ben's Uproar from Tower Hobbies sitting on our runway.
With a .46 this thing used to rip up the sky.

The Wacker with Ben's Top Cap from Morris Hobbies. The Top Cap is easy to fly and can even hover on its prop.
