I recently purchased a plane called a Spectrum F3B, I believe it was built by Ron Vann in California in 1995. Does anyone know if these planes are still being built and/or how to get in touch with Mr. Vann? Thanks JJC

In light of recent queries to the exchange, I am re-submitting my commentsfrom several years ago regarding the DAW 126 2M: I see a lot of enthusiasm for the DAW 126 hand launch as a first plane. Wanting something bigger for training my kids and others at the club, I went with the 2M TG-3.

Minority or not - much criticism has been posted about the JR 610. Then I got an email from a list member that said he had an early 610 that worked perfectly. Now I surmise that the design WAS proven before marketed. Some of the post on this list would have suggested otherwise. Something must

Hello, Anyone know where to find a Web site that lists ALL the 'known' HLG contests that will be held in the US this season? Would be real neat to see a page that listed ALL the contest Dates with 'links' to each site. I think this would also help raise attendance as people could plan ahead

There is a little subtlety that may have been overlooked by those enjoying the videos shot from Tom's plane and suggesting other maneuvers. When he is flying, he is wearing VR glasses and pilots from the video image he sees in the glasses ... not from viewing the actual plane as seen from the

Out by LAX it was really loud. Now that the shuttle is going to the space station, the orbit is really highly inclined. That seems to bring it right across this area when it lands at Edwards. In fact, I think it crosses the coast line over Santa Monica. "David J. Schat" wrote: Ha! The

Yet another vote for the Chrysalis. With modern radio equipment, I'd say there's no need to go overboard trying to save weight, because the wing is ENORMOUS. A stock C. with submicro radio equipment will come in around 10 oz, which is around 3.5 oz/sqft. Extra effort to keep the tail light
