We had a great
turn and a good time at the December
meeting. We had Show "N" Tell
airplanes to see and cookies all around.

Tom Egbert did a short
program telling about the
many people that have
purchased a Radiant Glider
for a new Gliding event next
summer. There is a lot
of interest in this event. |

Tom also brought his new
F-86 FU865 from E-flite.
It is a very fast and fun
ducted fan. George
Eheman Dan Cramer and
Didier Watson to name a few
also fly one of these fast
foam Ducted Fan Jets. |

Keith Paskewitz brought the
frame of a new airplane for
light weight indoor flying.
It is made from .030 and
.040 carbon fiber rods and
it will be covered with
Reynolds Wrap Mylar film.
(Probably clear film that
will be sprayed with ink for
paint. I have still
got to do more research on
what ink will stick to thin
Mylar.
If your planning to build
one of these be prepared for
a tremendous amount of
hours. |

Gary Grimes brought his
Artec HB-ZFF coaxial
helicopter. This is
close to the biggest
coaxial that you can buy.
It's a very pretty heli and
a good flyer. |
|
|
|
Gary also flew his heli to
demonstrate it's good flying
characteristics. He
landed on his hand and held
it. That's what we
call the Grell Grab!
