Yeah, Joe managed to break another 14 mm carbon spar but this time it cost
him the plane It was the very first F3B Eagle that Joe made for the 91
Worlds. :-( film in 2 months :-)
He did get it wound up to about 155mph before the failure. :-)
A really big thank you ISR Boyz and Ladies for another great event! Tons of
lift, good food, good thumbs, greatly detailed PSS planes and many new
friends.
To all you guyz that patiently flew for the camera, thank you, thank you,
thank you!
Also, thank you to Dave Wenzlick for the use of your radar gun. It was great
to finally find out how fast these planes are traveling. BTW Dave W. & Steve
Willcox's BD-5's had a wing loading of 8oz and managed to reach 98 & 100mph
from a dive on the front side. Not shabby for 30 inch span with a puny
8oz/ft2 wing loading.
If your interested in renting this very cool easy to use radar gun please
contact Dave Wenzlick at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Lastly, thank you to Pat Bowman, Doug Turner, Joe Wurts and the rest Parker
gang for the great flying and BS'n on Monday. You guyz sure know how to treat
outta towners. See ya in July for some DS F3F practice :-)
Dave (very thankful) Reese
