IN MY HANGAR

 Airbus
This I call my Airbus. When I bought my second radio the guy threw this in with the deal. It had a broken off tail which I fixed, added the nose and gave it a little colour. I have no idea what plane this is but sure is a nice flyer. With its symetrical wing if flys fast and does good areobatic, then slows down for easy landings. Specs:  wingspan 78", length 62", wing area 1079" sq. in., OS91 FS with 13x8 Zinger when on skis and 14x6 Master Airscrew when on wheels, weight 8.5 lbs, JR Radio equipment.

 

 Floatplane
This is a Hobbico Flightstar ARF with Gee Bee Floats. I removed the wing dowls and modified it to a bolt down. I fly this on my holidays on Manitoulin Island and in the winter I also put skis on it. It's a gentle and easy flyer and can also fly inverted no problem. Specs: wingspan 64 1/2", length 46 3/4", wing area 741 3/4 sq. in. Supertigre 51 with 11x6 APC prop. JR Radio equipment.



 

 Patriot
This is the first kit I built. Good instruction with many photos and straight forward. This is a nice fast plane that is easy to fly and which also lands fairly slow and easy. Specs: Wingspan 47" Lenght 56" Wing Area 524 sq. in. Weight 5 3/4 lbs. Engine - Supertigre 51 with 11x6 APC prop. Covered in Ultracoat. JR Radio equipment.






 Midwest Mustang 60
This is a Midwest Mustang 60. I picked this up second hand with little air time on it. This is another nice flying plane, steady and stable with no stalling charactoristics at low speed. Specs: Wingspan 65" Length 51" Wing Area 727 sq. in. Engine - OS91 FS with 13x8 APC prop. Spring Air retracts. Covered in 21st Century Fabric. JR Radio equipment.





 Ultrasport 60
My Ultrasport 60. This is the second kit I built, and like the Patriot it is another well illustrated straight forward kit. One of the best planes to learn aerobatics on and getting into retracts.Specs: Wingspan 61 1/2" Length 55 1/2" Wing Area 566 sq. in. Weight 8 1/4 lbs. Engine - Supre Tiger S61K with 11x8 APC prop. Dave Brown retracts. Covered in Ultracoat. JR Radio equipment. Battery failure summer of 97, it's history know.
