[RCSE] Was: Can anybody identify this plane? Now: Ducks

[George Voss]

The guys in Tulsa flew Ducks when they were popular.  Troy came down and helped anyone who asked, to trim their sailplane.  Dale Nutter, I think D.O. Darnell had them and they were tough to beat with them.  750 sq. in. 2M if I remember right.  For our windy conditions in the Midwest, they were the bomb.   George   From: Robert Massmann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, December 04, 2005 8:48 PM To: soaring@airage.com Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [RCSE] Can anybody identify this plane?   Jim,   I think I heard that Larry Story was producing the new vesion on a limited bases for Troy.
