I would like to know what plane you had the most fun with.
I admit my Boomerang was the plane I had most fun with. I can throw it
in any slope condition I meet without worrying.
Sometimes I ballast it when the wind is really blowing. My Boomerang
lost its rigidity long time ago because it met
Plane is a rather broad term. Depends on what you want to do with it. I'd
say my FVK Aquila's are most fun, I have FIVE of them! But it's a powered
plane and I've also had a heck of a lot of fun with my Artemus sailplane
because upon going for my level1 LSF goal, I had a 35+ minute flight and
As some of us are approaching the traditional time of year to build new
models, I would like to remind folks that I offer high integrity
plug-and-play wiring harnesses for all types of sailplanes. This is a
low volume operation, aimed at those pilots who prefer tailored systems
to meet their
I would have to say it was Duckling HLG, it has over 200 hours on it.
It is being rebuilt for the 4th or 5th time.

Louis, that's an easy question for me to answer. I'd have to say I've had
the most fun with my Weasel Pro. It was a very well designed kit with very
complete and well written directions so that anyone can build this bird and
have it flying in short order.
I've flown mine is very low wind
That's easy, Bob Dodgson Pivot. Would fly in anything. Flew it HL, slope,
thermal, etc. Started out about 18 oz, ended up almost 25oz after all the
repairs. Finally died a fittingly spectacular slope death at the hands of
my father.

My most fun plane, you're going to gasp, was a Zagi 400X. Speed 400 powered
and unafraid of circuits with the wing tips less than a foot off the grass.
That stupid foam plane developed me as a pilot and prepared me for the pylon
racers that I have grown to love.
My favourite plane to date,
Guys,
I think when I look at the most fun plane I have and best bang for the buck,
I would have to say it is my original Fun One. The plane has been crashed
and rebuilt at least a 3 or 4 times and now looks as good as new. Has to be
the best $99.00 I have ever spent in this hobby.
See Ya,
To add to my original post - would it be most fun plane or most fun
experience flying?
The first flight of my huge Islander was a blast... and was one of my most
memorable flights. Last time out hovering my PIGI was most fun... first
thermal flight was most fun... So come to think of it - all
That's easy. It is my Winglet Spica. I designed the Spica in the fall of
1978 and it first flew in January, 1979. It's first contest was the LSF
Tournament in Lockport, IL in 1979 and it's last contest was in 2-meter at
the 1998 Nats. In the early 80s, it had no competition in two-meter
For me it has to be the Houston Hawk. I designed it to
teach building/covering techniques, and to be rugged
for teaching some of the finer points of
flying/landing. I guess the teaching part was the most
fun, even though the model turned out to be rather
competitive. I was so happy when I saw some

PS Me and my toy!
Have to agree with Pat on this one. My Fun One gets almost as much air time
as all my other planes combined. Light wind, heavy wind even thermals
drifting through on calm days.

Easy to answer this one, PEGASUS tow plane. Vertical tow to 1000 ft. in 27
sec. Rolls opposite with the Sailplane while going vertical. Tows to 4000
ft. Towing inverted.
Does not get any better than that

Has anyone successfully converted a six-servo Mystery Ship over to RES. If
so, what kind of changes did you make (other than the obvious) and how well
did the Mystery Ship perform as a RES?

I had the most fun with a Silent Squadron Komet. It was won by a club
member in the Phoenix raffle the last year they had it at Rodeo Park.
The guy who won it didn't fly foam (his loss) and gave it to me since he
had borrowed my ship for the contest and dinged it up a bit (and then

Almost done with my Skeeter RES.not :-)

I knew he was going to say that!
And I have to say, being on the other end of that PEGASUS being towed up is
one of my most fun experiences!

I have one, complete, Little Big Winch System "A" with the new anti-backlash brake installed, sitting on my bench ready, for final assembly. If you know of someone who would like to give YOU something like this for Christmas tell them to get in touch with me.
