A couple of Guillows rubber powered all balsa Sleek Streak type airplanes
that my grandson and I played with all afternoon and still do from time to

Most fun with any models and all for less than $5!

I have one too and I agree. Its one fun plane to fly. Which motor do you
have on yours? I have the DA 100 on mine. Where do you get your props?
They are a little expensive I must admit.

Well, Louis did say plane not sailplane. The Pegasus will thermal if
you shut the motor down in strong lift. :-)
There is another Pegasus in the Midwest now in the hands of Jim
Frickie. This is the latest build from my shop with a rebuilt 3W 120 up
front. Jim reports torque rolls are a cinch.
I can't believe nobody has brought up the DAW EPP 2M 1-26 yet. By far the
most versatile slope plane I've had. Although not the original plane used
for Pine Tree Pylon Racing at Lake Wilson, it has certainly become the
favorite. It's not uncommon for six or more 1-26s to be tightly packed
I am placing a bulk order with MENZ props from Germany. If any one is

I have to go with my Dodgson Pivot. It flies in any lift. I can ballast it up when it's windy. I canwinch it up when there's no slope. It all goes back into the box at the end of the day.

Hi, My most fun plane is the Silent Dream with a Hacker 40. My next fun
plane si the Genie with a PJS 800 it is all foam and it must have 200
flights on it. Ray

Interesting that most of the Most Fun Planes have flown on the slope.
You have to have been around for awhile and live in SoCal to remember
the Rubber Ducky. It was a 60 span sloper, rudder elevator, that
thermaled like a champ and was just made for fun. It used the 2r112

I have a plane several years old designed by Wil Byers called the Core One
or Cloud Climber. Anyone remember these? There used to be a picture of it
next to Wil in the MA soaring column. Really strange wing platform.

As an early present, Late Summer Santa brought a Furio and then a
WinchNZ F3B winch. His elves just notified me that my mono order has
arrived as well...and since I have been good I put my name on the list
for a second Furio.
Mrs. Claus would be really pissed if all was known.

I have not problem with spending the money on the video. I have a bunch of

Agreed, the friends and camaradarie, the view, the incredible wildlife out on a

Beaufort Scale observations can be even more accurate than observations
made with hand-held devices, because you can avoid not only boundary layer

Thanks for the
advice Hugh. I'm very familiar with the weaknesses of the MS. The one I have is
four years old now. I've never had any problems with the T-tail being wobbly,

Ok Bill The most fun plane I've ever flown IS a Pike Superior... and
not just cause it's capable of winning contests, but mostly because it
