Small Flying Arts

I went to the Sepulveda Basin this morning with the original Ukrainian Resistance, a production Ukrainian Resistance, a Skinny Bomber, a Wright Amount of Wrong, a Giant NoCal Beaufighter and one of the static display model Guillow's Beavers that I built for trade shows 12 years ago. The Beaver had b...

Have you ever heard of an indoor contest being blown out? Well, that nearly happened at the June 29th O.F.F.C. A6 competition at the Stonehurst Recreation Center. The contest, itself, was sparsely attended, in part, due to the high cost of fuel and the 100+ degree (F) heat in the San Fernando Valley...

When we last left the intrepid fliers of the Old Farts Flying Club they were about to have their monthly contest for April. This time it was NoCal and the members that participated were enthusiastic. Several interesting models were flown from 1930’s civilian to War Birds to Jets to modern Civil. Bil...

Staubkorb,

If you fly it outdoors be sure to have your name and phone number on it. Does that answer your question?

Here is the production version of Ukrainian Resistance finished and tested. It flies just like the original prototype but is easier to build and gets all the FAC bonus points. It was released at the Black Sheep meeting in Burbank tonight (Wednesday) and will be available from my web site tomorrow (T...

Doing a final build of the production version to make sure that my assembly instructions are correct and that it can be built with PVA glue. (I've been accused of designing some models that have to be built with CA.) Shooting for 5/04 release.

The nose was too tight to get a pusher stick or blast tube through so I opened it up a bit. I also gave it an FAC bonus point slant windshield, added exhaust stacks, and a "Ghost of Kyiv" pilot figure. The parts sheets have been finalized, plan redrawn and as soon as I have the assembly in...

The O.F.F.C. contest for March was for Embryo. Once again a doctor's appointment took precedence and I was not present. However, Dave Gee provided enough information for an O.F.F.C. page in the Black Sheep Exhibition Squadron newsletter and I have attached the page.

decided to call my new Embryo design "Ukrainian Resistance" (inspired by Cleveland Models "Polish Valor" at the beginning of WW2.) and when in kit donate $5 of every kit sold to Ukrainian relief. The pictures and video are of the first prototype. The changes I need for production...
